Some of the Indian eateries will serve your food on banana leaves. And yes you could overlook the fact that you’re eating on a banana leaf because of the tempting colourful multi-dishes and mouth-watering aromas that come from the food.

The tradition of serving meals on banana leaves has been there long ago in Indian civilization and consuming meals on banana leaves is considered nutritious and auspicious too.

However, have you ever wondered why Indians always serve food on banana leaves and why they prefer to serve food on banana leaves over platters?

Delve into this to know some fascinating facts and explanations;

Rich In Anti-oxidant

Banana leaves are high in polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants. These can be found in green tea. Polyphenols, which are claimed to avoid a number of life illnesses, are absorbed by food served on banana leaves. They’re also known to have antibacterial elements, which might make them destroy microorganisms in food.

Economical Option

One of the most cost-effective and low-cost alternatives is to eat meals on banana leaves. You won’t have to worry about wasting money on a plethora of cutlery. You’re done for the day if you grab a couple of banana leaves from the banana tree. Simply rinsing the leaves with water and getting started is all that is required.

The Eco-Friendly Buddy

Make a wise choice and replace those plastic utensils with banana leaves, which are way more environmentally friendly. They not only disintegrate quickly, which we all know most forms of plastic do not, but they also save the time and work that would otherwise be spent washing the dishes. Chemical-based dishwashing soaps and solutions also penetrate the groundwater, creating long-term damage to the water table.

Hygienic Goods

Eating on banana leaves is usually a real treat because it is far more hygienic than using other utensils. Normal utensils must be washed with soap, and traces of soap may linger on the utensils even after they have been cleansed. It’s possible that such residues will affect your meals. The waxy layer of banana leaves prevents dirt and dust from adhering to the leaves’ surface. It also gives the meals served on the leaves a delicate and earthy flavour.

Last but not least, eating meals on banana leaves is a visual treat as well as a gustatory delight. If you never had meals on the banana leaf, you shouldn’t miss it.

Give it a go right now to experience the heavenly-divine flavours !
