BANANAS 🍌 FROM FLOWER TO FRUIT / how I use all parts of the plant

[@ElenaIoanfruity]

Ooh! Here's what I do with some of my bananas! After dehydrating them really good, I turn them into powder and mix them with pulverized dried mulberries and dates. Sometimes I add unpasteurized honey too. It makes a hard past kink of, and that's who I make my energy balls for when we go hiking and mountain skiing! As I don't live in the tropics, I buy my bananas by the case (18.4kg). Sometimes we buy 3!! We let them ripe, dehydrate some and then freeze the rest for smoothies and nice cream! Some of my favorite flavors are: 1) with Barleygrass juice powder, 2) with strawberries and basil, 3) and with black cherries! But just plane is sometimes all I need! So simple and satisfying!!!! Oooh! And banana-jackfruit?!!!!! OMG!! Insane!!

[@MyFoodForest]

Thanks Fruity Elena for the tip - really good idea to mix grind them and add to energy balls. I used to make granola and ad some of the dried bananas that i cut into the mix! Oh yes, nice cream never gets boring, we can make so many flavours! I also love banana - jackfruit and happy that jackfruit season is just starting here!

[@jessibaby901]

Tfs I'm trying the strawberry and basil combo.

[@ElenaIoanfruity]

@@jessibaby901 Cool!!! Before being vegan (like 10 years ago), I had a "traditional" icecrem with those 2 flavors and I loved it. I reproduce it since with 1 part frozen bananas and 1 part fresh sweet (the riper and sweeter, the better) strawberries, and a handful of fresh basil (not too much though; it might come out bitter) in a food processor and I find it's better than the original!! At least, better than my souvenir of it, hihi! Let me know if you end up trying it! 😊

[@alvararichards1445]

I didn’t know banana can make drink and the flower can be eaten. Great video. Thanks

Every fiber of banana can be consumed- for animals and people; and of course, they keep the ground moist; my favorite is to plant bananas and coffees close together ~~~

[@theldor9597]

Beautiful place, love banana blossoms, thank you.

[@rabi8053]

Here in Assam in Northeast India, we make "Posola" from the stem of the banana plant. The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia: Posola in Assamese cuisine is a food made with the inner part of banana shoots. The bark is peeled off and the tender inner part of the banana stem cut into small pieces. Onions, garlic, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds are fried in oil until they splutter and then the banana stem pieces are added into the mixture and simmered in a kadhai with some hot water. Once the water evaporates the dish is ready.

[@gowthamv7856]

She seems to be in tamilnadu where we also make use of the stem of banana fruit.

[@MyFoodForest]

oh yes, they do similar dish here!

Thanks and welcome! I can imagine that you have great bananas in the Filipines - Yes I made a lot of these ginger candies and some in the jars are also just plain bananas!

[@studentofthegr8art]

Here's one more, you can blanch the leaves in hot water or wilt it by sliding it over a fire to make great bio-degradable wrap/packing material for your lunch.

[@MyFoodForest]

That sounds like a really great Idea ! Thanks

[@playerfriend6541]

So you in South India right

[@megm.c4026]

Did you find out why the black spots? I have them also in my main banana patch and I think its a fungal thing? It happened after I stupidly let someone come and get a load of pups and they left corms open (didnt cover the wound with soil) Now all of my bananas in that area have it. Sometimes I get black tiny spots on the bunches from there also. Sad!

I feed the banana leaves to the ducks. My banana plants are so tall you need an extension ladder to harvest fruit! I give most of the bananas to my vegan friends.

Hello there, sooo good to see this. What part of this in south India? Can we Visit? Could you please share the location/address here?

[@TamilMarketing1]

In India we have a tradition, cut the tree before cut the fruits.

[@adityaniyogi330]

You can try and not cut off the main stem of banana tree it can provide upto 70% nutrition fir the sister banana plant(small plant) it can reduce the need of extra nutrition and just cut off extra leaves just leave one or two on the top after pruning the fruits.

[@leandrarohner4494]

I once saw that you can actually also eat the peel. I‘ve never done it before (maybe the peel should be a bit thicker than the ones you have) They took away that white stuff from the inside with a spoon and than seasoned and fried it. Maybe google a recipe for clearer instructions😅

[@MyFoodForest]

I heard of it as well:) They call it vegan bacon😅 Have not tried as I am not so into fried foods!

" Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on His law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither--- whatever they do prospers. " ( Psalm 1 : 1 - 3 )
