Hello Marketman,

What a great blog! I came upon it while searching for how to clean and prepare a banana heart. Thanks to those who shared their methods.

BTW I gather there’s some kind of confusion between “banana blossom” and “banana heart”, seeing as they’re used interchangeably in some comments. If I’m not mistaken, what Filipinos often call “banana blossoms” (as used in some recipes for humba or adobo) are actually dried daylily flowers, called golden needles or yellow flowers in Chinese (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dry_Day_Lily.jpg), more usually found in Moo Shoo Pork.

All the best and more power to your blog,

Jay

Hi , In Malaysia this banana bud we called it ” Pisang Jantung ” .
We ate as vegetables with lunch or dinner .

How we eat this Banana Buds ?

1) We wash it external skin with clean water .
2) We cut it into half .
3) We boiled water in the wok / pot
4) We put the wood/ss steamer pots ontop of the boiling
water .
5) when the water boiling hot , put the slice banana buds
on the steamer case and steam the banana buds for about
5 – 10 minutes ,
6) Take out from the steamer , on top of the cooked
banana buds , put some blended chilis or lemon juice
and eat it as veg-salad for your lunch or dinner .
7) It is yummy veg .
