Fresh Banana Leaves 1 Lb. Hoja de Platano

Used these to make cochinita pibil. Leaves were defrosted when they arrived. In great condition. I froze them for a couple of weeks before using, the flavor they added as unreal. Great product. Would use again.

Rotten and dry. Banana leaves are supposed to be refrigerated and lush green. People cook with these. They also came in a flimsy shopping bag. I demand my money back. This is outrageous! Do not buy this!

My first time using banana leaves and had to order as I could not find locally. They arrived with minimal delay and were in fine shape despite the hot weather and a statement on the package which said “Keep frozen”. I kept some to use and put the rest in the freezer. They did just fine when thawed again for use. Having not used them before, I didn’t quite know what to expect flavor wise. I used them to wrap and cook fish and really didn’t notice any real flavor enhancement. I’ll use again and perhaps make tamales . They are more of a novelty to me than a useful cooking item.

It came nice well wrapped 👍🏼

Product appears to be top quality and arrived in good condition. However, leaves were just in an open plastic bag with no protection from heat. Would expedited delivery be warranted? I don't know but I would feel more secure product was not organically compromised. Leaf package should at least be sealed and perhaps vacuum packed.

The size of the leaves is all over the place, they are not cut to be useful for tamales and we had to patch the tamales with the same leaves for Frankenstein tamales wrap. They transferred a lot of flavor to the tamales and I will give it a try with another vendor if we ever decide to cook tamales again. They ended up with a leave flavor and released a LOT of stain when we boiled the tamales. Seems like some leaves were easy to fold to wrap the tamales but some other leaves were plain cardboard...if you know what I mean. Thank heaven the tamales were eatable and we enjoyed them but better try other vendor in the future. Shipment was fast though, arrived fast and looked fresh. I do not recommend these even if you plan to use them for decorative purpose on a dish because your food will taste different from what you originally intend in the recipe.

I liked the fact that it’s real “endagala”I disliked that it’s not the same as the one from East Africa.

It's not fresh, the leaves came out black, the photos in the ad are misleading, there is no return.
