Frequently asked questions

  • What are banana leaves used for?

    Banana leaves are used to wrap and steam or grill foods such as tamales, fish, rice cakes and sticky rice, and as a natural plate or steamer liner. The leaf is not eaten.

  • How do you prepare frozen banana leaves?

    Thaw the leaves, rinse and wipe them clean, remove any hard center rib, and pass them briefly over a gas flame or through hot water until glossy and pliable. This keeps them from cracking when folded.

  • What do banana leaves taste like?

    Banana leaves add a mild, slightly sweet, tea-like aroma to steamed or grilled food rather than a strong flavor of their own.

  • What can I use instead of banana leaves?

    Parchment paper or aluminum foil can replace banana leaves for steaming and baking, but they will not add the leaf aroma. Corn husks can be used for tamales, and large lotus leaves work for some Chinese steamed dishes.

  • Where can I buy banana leaves near me?

    Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Banana leaves on Weee! include Tropics Banana Leaves, Simex Banana Leaves and Goya Banana Leaves.

  • Can you eat banana leaves?

    No. Banana leaves are used as a wrapper or plate and are not eaten, although they flavor the food inside lightly while it cooks.

  • How should I store banana leaves?

    Keep frozen banana leaves in the freezer until needed. Once thawed, wrap unused leaves tightly and refrigerate for a short time, or refreeze them if they have not been left out long.
