Did you know?
It is the cone-shaped cluster of male flowers at the end of a banana bunch; the tough outer bracts are peeled away and the tender inner florets used. It exudes a resinous sap that browns quickly, so it is held in lemon water.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
