Its cheap and full of nutrients, good for the pocket and for you. I used to make a simple stir fry. Wash it well and cook fully, thats the only thing.

At our home banana flower poriyal is very common and my mother made it during my pregnancy too. Its good for iron and digestion they say. Just cook it well, and if you have any condition, do confirm with your gynac.

Banana flower is totally fine, its actually quite healthy. Just make sure its cleaned and cooked properly. I had it as a side dish many times in both pregnancies.
