Everyone knows that plantains can be eaten, but few people know that plantain hearts can be used for cooking. The Dai, Lahu, Hani and other ethnic minorities living in the tropical rain forests of southwestern Yunnan are used to grow in mountains and valleys. The young stalks of wild bananas in the middle make a delicious dish on the table. Like plantains, wild bananas can bloom and bear fruit, but the fruit is small, and the skin is densely packed with black seeds, and there is almost no edible pulp. It is generally used as pig feed. The stem heart of wild banana has the effects of clearing heat and detoxification, diuresis and swelling, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. Before wild bananas bloom, the stems are picked and the outer skin is stripped to get the inner stems like fluorescent tubes, which can be served cold, fried, or stewed. Today, I mixed a plate of plantain hearts with water tempeh to share and experience different ethnic food cultures. "
