Eco-Friendly
Make a smart move and ditch those plastic disposable utensils for banana leaves as they are much more eco-friendly. Not only do they decompose in a very short time, which we all know most types of plastic do not, but they also save the extra time and effort that would have otherwise gone in washing the dishes. Chemical based dish washing soaps and liquids further enter the ground water and could harm the water table in the long run.
Economical
Having food on banana leaves is one of the most economical and inexpensive options to go for. You don’t need to worry about spending those extra bucks on tons of utensils. Just grab few banana leaves from the banana tree and you’re done for the day. Just rinse the leaves with water and get going.
Hygienic
It is always a good idea to eat on banana leaves as it is certainly more hygienic when compared to other utensils. Normal utensils have to be washed using soap and there are chances that traces of soap may still remain on the utensils even after washing. Those traces might end up contaminating your food. Banana leaves have a wax-like coating that prevents dirt and dust from sticking on the surface of leaves. It also adds subtle and earthy flavours to the dishes that are served on the leaves.
