Made from an excellent selection of the banana bud or blossom.
 
Banana blossom, also known as banana flower or banana heart, is the large, teardrop-shaped, purple-red flower that grows at the end of a banana fruit cluster. It has tightly packed, overlapping petals (called bracts) that encase rows of cream-colored florets inside. The inner core is tender, while the outer layers are more fibrous.
Common in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines, banana blossom is prized for its mildly nutty, slightly tangy flavor and its flaky, tender texture—often likened to fish, making it a popular plant-based meat alternative. When cooked, it absorbs surrounding flavors well, making it ideal for curries, stir-fries, soups, and vegan fish dishes. Before cooking, the blossom is usually peeled, soaked in water with lemon or vinegar to reduce bitterness, and then sliced or shredded.
In addition to its culinary use, banana blossom is also valued for its health benefits. It’s low in calories, rich in fiber, and contains antioxidants, vitamins (like vitamin C and E), and minerals such as magnesium and potassium.
