Banana flower

With the first banana tree we did not cut off the flower. Upon harvesting the fruit, we composted the flower and the tree.

This time round I decided to try cutting off the flower once the fruit stopped forming. There were about 10 combs before the rest remained small. 

Used a kitchen knife. Here it is...

Will be trying to cook it tonight.

Update... it was too bitter for my liking. Ate it anyways
