Do you...those purple flowers, did they grow there?<br /><br />Do you know that banana flowers can be eaten two ways?<br /><br />When I was young in my grand dad's place, we used to suck those yellow flowerlets. Grand pa wasn't happy.<br /><br />Some Burmese , Thai Vietnamese , they cook the heart , you know , the purple bulb? In Singapore, with my trees, I used to give the banana heart to my friends.<br /><br />Wonder of the Brazilians eat them?Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-86364328513349269172010-07-02T11:52:44.087-04:002010-07-02T11:52:44.087-04:00Oh they are beautiful...everyone!
