Banana blossoms are traditionally used in Asian cooking due to their higher cultivations, for instance, India produced around 30.5 million tons of bananas in 2019 and it grew to 31.5 million tons of banana production in 2021.
With the growth in banana production year on year, naturally, banana blossom production is also increasing. This significant growth is resulting in the export of banana blossoms from India to countries like the U.K., Japan, and Qatar. India is one of the top exporters of banana blossom in the world with 3.4 thousand banana blossom shipments in 2022.
