BANANA FLOWERS




Look at the large banana flowers above. The large, dark purple-red blossoms grow from the end of a bunch of bananas.  Here in Malaysia, the banana is eaten as food.  One can cook it or just eat it raw.  Either way, it is delicious. In addition, the banana flower has lots of nutrient value - Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Calcium and iron too. It also has medicinal value for a number of chronic ailments including dyspepsia, hook-worms in intestines, menorhoea.
