 | Soak sliced banana flowers in tamarind or lime juice to avoid discoloring. Or wait until the water is boiling then pound the banana flowers and put the tender pieces in the water immediately. Do not cook too long after adding acacia insuvais. This will make it stay green and give it a good taste. |

|
 | Flowers of the kluai pa, or plantain banana or sapientum (kluai namwa) are the best. Thorny acacia insuvais tastes better than the thornless variety. |
