banana leaves
Natural food wrappers
Banana leaves are the large, flexible leaves of the banana plant, widely used in tropical cuisines as wrappers for steaming, grilling, or serving food.
The leaves impart a subtle flavor and keep contents moist during cooking: fish steamed in banana leaves, tamales wrapped in banana leaves.
They also serve as disposable plates in South Asian and Southeast Asian dining.
