Frequently asked questions

  • What is banana leaf used for in cooking?

    Banana leaf is used to wrap and steam or grill food, such as tamales, fish, rice cakes, and pork. It also serves as a plate or liner for rice meals.

  • How do you prepare banana leaf for wrapping?

    Thaw frozen leaves, wipe them clean, and soften them briefly over a flame, in hot water, or in a microwave until pliable. This keeps the leaf from tearing when folded.

  • How do I store banana leaves?

    Keep frozen leaves in the freezer and thaw only what you need. Wrap fresh leaves and refrigerate, and follow the package instructions.

  • What dishes use banana leaf?

    Mexican cochinita pibil and tamales, Vietnamese banh gio, Filipino suman, Indian patra ni machhi, and Thai steamed fish curry are common examples.

  • Can you eat banana leaf?

    No. Banana leaf is used as a wrapper or serving surface and is not eaten. Remove it before eating the food inside.

  • Where can I buy banana leaf near me?

  • What can I use instead of banana leaf?

    Parchment paper with foil, corn husks, or lotus leaves can stand in for steaming and grilling, though you will miss the leaf's aroma.
