Fresh Banana Leaves 1 Lb. Hoja de Platano

Love these plant leaves. Better than my expectation because I had so many leaves and very fresh for me to do Puerto Rican Pasteles Christmas Delicacy and very inexpensive.I was also able to freeze what was not used.

Never expect to receive this product that fresh and in a really good conditions. More because we are in the middle of the mountains

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!

Very fresh banana leaves! Very satisfied.

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.

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.

These came not very fresh, smelling of some rot, dirty etc,covered in white mold. Needed to clean well before use. They were usable, but barely. Still easier to use than frozen. They were pale and faded. I have ordered fresh from Amazon before and gotten fresh hojas that were dark green and pliant. I would recommend the following over these: https://www.amazon.com/pound-Fresh-Banana-leaves-cooking/dp/B0786P1NT5/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=KP78XWP9JQSD&keywords=banana+leaves&qid=1702579668&sprefix=bsnana+leaves%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-7

I've been buying this brand of fresh bannana leaves for the past 8 years and they had always been satisfactory. That is, until this year, they arrived half rotted. Large portions of the leaves had gone black, a couple were even slimy with rot. Unfortunately I didn't have time to replace as I didn't know they were bad until I started cooking. So I trimmed and washed what I could and was able to use maybe half of the package. The dish turned out ok, no thanks to rotting bannana leaves.
