Cooking Tips

To prepare the banana heart, peel the red leaves off the heart then discard the stems out from the inside of the buds. Continue to peel the leaves until only the white leaves are left. Mince the banana heart then soak it in salted water (4 cups water with 3 tablespoons of salt) for 30 minutes. Place the minced banana heart in a cheesecloth, and squeeze to drain excess water and bitter sap.
