has anyone ever eaten banana flowers?
Comments (5)I'm originally from Vietnam (south) where bananas are abundant. I have 2 big clumps of banana here that I grow. To my knowledge, I always cut the blossom when I see I have enough banana bunches on the tree. Doing so will fatten up your bananas because the nutrition and energy will go into bananas only instead of to the blossom if you keep the blossom on the tree. Plus the blossom will only give you a certain amount of bunches then the rest of the blossom is just hanging down with no fruits on it. And yes I eat the blossoms. Several ways of using the blossom. I shred it and use as salad, or cut up in chunks and cook with coconut milk with lime juice and lemon grass as a Thai soup or I just set the whole blossom on the cutting board a smash it then cut it vertically and squeeze some lime juice then dip with a little soy sauce. There are more ways of using the blossom and I love each and every way. But I have to tell you that the taste is a little bitter so it's not easy for first timers. If you are going to prepare the blossom, make sure after cutting it you need to soak it in water with a little lemon or lime juice or white vinegar, this prevent it from turning black....See MoreHyacinth Beans, Ever Eaten Em?
Comments (14)Hyacinth beans are a very important winter vegetable in many parts of India,especially the eastern region comprising Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, eastern Uttar Pradesh, as well as in Bangladesh. We are talking of half a billion humans here! Note well though, although the nomenclature refers to Lablab purpureus (L.)Sweet., the types most favored for fresh vegetables are broad, flat,about 4-9 inches long[curved], dark green. The finest types are creamy green, almost white. Just like snow peas, they are picked when the seeds are barely developed, and are very tender and delicious. These vegetable types of eastern India are massively vining and require elaborate bamboo trellises. As mentioned above, they are also daylength sensitive. There is another group popular in western india for their seeds used as hulled legumes. 200 genotypes are recognized. On the basis of our limited acquaintance with the Single type distributed as an ornamental in our gardens, we should reserve our judgement! I, for one, crave the fresh hyacinth bean. Frozen food vendors do a roaring business seling memories to expatriates all over the globe, but to me frozen vegetables, peas included, taste like death frozen over. Sorry to be ungrateful, they are good, nutritious food, but they do not taste like the real thing[maybe corn does, to some degree]....See MoreHave you eaten any decadent desserts lately?
Comments (46)Below is a recipe from Mangrove Mama's, a local (Fl Keys) restaurant. This is the real deal; what you think of--or should think of--when you think key lime pie. For some reason this recipe calls for 5 egg yolks, although the original from the restaurant only requires 4. Also, this version doesn't specify as does the original to add ingredients in the exact order listed. Anyway, it's the dessert I make and take to any gathering to which I want to bring something special. The real thing, no chocolate allowed period. I'm gonna go all southern here and add, bless her heart, someone must have been into the rum supply if she thought THAT was a good ingredient for our sacred pie ;). Not that it may not taste good but it's messin' with perfection if you ask me. Here is a link that might be useful: Key Lime Pie...See MoreDo you eat / have you ever eaten Marmite?
Comments (8)Juellie, don't let us deter you. Millions of people are raised eating these foods and love them. It's really healthful and I wish I thought that I could 'learn to love it', but I don't think so. Alisand, I'd have to chow down on plentiful amounts of other foods that are loaded with folate. I'd love to hear more about what you find to increase folate in your diet. Is there a natural supplement of folate (not folic acid?...See Morenanny98
