Why people love banana stem
Banana stem is naturally high in dietary fibre and water, and it contains potassium. It has been part of traditional Indian diets for generations and is often included in healthy and light meals.
It has a mild, crunchy texture that works well in stir-fries, curries, salads, soups and fresh juices.

To prepare, remove the outer layers until you reach the tender white core. Slice it into thin rounds and remove the fibrous threads with your finger. Keep the slices in buttermilk or lightly salted water to stop them from browning.
