Detailed explanation-1: -While it’s far less common than banana fruit, the flower of a particular banana species is edible and considered a delicacy. Preparing banana flower for cooking is a bit like unwrapping a present.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ways to Eat Banana Blossom Some people claim the flower’s petals taste like artichoke leaves. Similar to artichokes, the fleshy petals and the “heart” of the banana blossom are edible. And while most of us think of artichokes as vegetables, they are actually flowers – they are large, un-bloomed thistles!

Detailed explanation-3: -The banana fruit you eat comes from part of the banana flower. The process of flower formation is called flower development. One of the mysteries of banana flower development is how the plant first forms its flowers. Banana flowers form deep within the stem of the plant and get hidden within the bases of the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Banana flowers are rich in soluble and non-soluble fibers, which help you feel full for a longer time and prevent constipation and other digestive problems. These fibers improve healthy gut microbes and reduce the risk of gut cancer. They also lower blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of type-2 diabetes.
