Banana blossom (කෙසෙල්මුව)

Banana Leaf (කෙසෙල්මුව) is an essential element in many South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Known for its large, glossy leaves, it is used for wrapping foods such as rice, curries, and desserts, allowing the food to steam while infusing it with a unique earthy aroma. Banana leaves are also used as a natural, eco-friendly serving platter for meals, especially during festive occasions. In addition to its culinary uses, the leaf’s natural properties help keep food fresh and enhance its flavor, making it an ideal choice for cooking and presentation in traditional dishes.
