Cooking Tips

• •Before use, gently pass the leaf over a low flame or dip in hot water to make it pliable and prevent tearing when folding.
• •Use as a wrapper for steaming, baking, or grilling fish, rice, or vegetables to lock in moisture and infuse a delicate flavor.
• •Serve as a natural, disposable plate for meals, particularly for traditional South Asian and Southeast Asian dishes.
• •Line steamer baskets or bamboo trays with pieces of banana leaf to prevent food from sticking and to add aroma.
