Banana Stem

One of the delicacies and an amazing healthy food is the banana stem. There is some degree of art in choosing a banana stem and there is a fair level of gaming to be crossed while cutting the stem right, but if you cross those two levels, what you get is easy and worth it.

Cut the stem into a 5mm cube slices. A 3 mm cube would be great, but your fingers may not survive that. While cutting, it is important to remove some of the overhanging fibres so that is not a tangled mess that nobody can eat.

Soak these cut pieces in turmeric water for half an hour. Drain the water and stir fry with a little more salt to taste.

A simple, unassuming, crunchy delight...
