General Description/History

Banana leaves are used for wrapping food to be cooked by steaming, boiling or grilling and they impart their own fragrance to the foodstuffs they enclose. They are also made into cups to hold custards and salads. They should be passed over a flame or other heat source before use to toughen them and prevent them from tearing.
