If you asked most kenyans about Banana Blossom, You'd be told it is at best, Animal feed n at worst, 'Kifuniko ya Mtungi wa maji'. But did you know it has excellent health benefits? Though it is mostly used in Asian Cuisine, I first learnt about the Blossom from Kenyan Traditional Birth Attendants/Midwives during a Research Project being carried out about them. (Western n Nyanza Region)

Curious to know whether it was merely old wives tales or not, I did my own research n guess what? They were right! Everything they believed it to do, has scientific backing, as true.

((I will illustrate on another post, how to 'harvest n prepare' the Flowers.))
