A: Fresh banana blossoms are available in Asian or Indian grocery stores. Canned versions are also available online and in specialty food sections.
Q3: What does banana blossom taste like?
A: It has a mild, slightly earthy flavor with a texture similar to artichoke or jackfruit, making it a great meat alternative in vegan recipes.
Q4: Can I freeze banana blossom dishes?
A: Yes, cooked banana blossom can be frozen in an airtight container for up to one month. Thaw and reheat before serving.
