🌿 Product Name: Banana Heart / Blossom (Bắp Chuối / Hoa Chuối) 500g +/-50g
👉 Harvest Date: Cut once the plant's fruit "hands" have finished setting on the bunch above it — generally 90–120 days after the fruit bunch first emerges. Each pseudostem flowers only once, so harvesting is tied to that plant's fruiting cycle rather than a repeatable multi-cut schedule.
💚 Natural flavors: Mildly bitter and tannic with a starchy, artichoke-heart-like texture once the tough outer purple bracts are removed and the pale inner florets are sliced and soaked in acidulated water. Classic in gỏi/nộm bắp chuối salad and as a garnish for bún bò Huế and canh chua.
