Banana Blossoms

Banana blossoms, also known as banana hearts, are the edible flower clusters of the banana plant. With their tender, layered petals and mild, slightly nutty flavor, banana blossoms are a popular meat alternative in vegan and vegetarian cooking—especially praised for their flaky, fish-like texture. Commonly used in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisine, they can be steamed, sautéed, fried, or added to curries and salads.

Common Uses: Vegan “fish” dishes, stir-fries, curries, stews, and salads.
