I was born in a family that comes from the village, both my mother and father are from the village, but that doesn't mean we are not grateful because we were born from the village, it makes us proud and happy and that's nothing. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Not only my father and mother, even my grandparents also come from the village, of course their lives are not far from the village starting from work, even depending on the village.

My village is still awake, there are still many people who use the village as I wrote above, this time I will not discuss the village, but what I will discuss this time is about Banana Leaf, because I was born in a village it feels incomplete if people making snacks that are wrapped but not with banana leaves, friends need to know that in the old days people still used banana leaves to serve as containers when there were no plates, besides banana leaves there were also teak leaves. This leaf is also familiar as a container, unfortunately teak leaves are not as much as banana leaves, so people now use banana leaves more, that's because teak trees are starting to decrease, unlike banana trees which are always there.

What is the reason banana leaves are more often used by many people?

1. Banana leaves have been used by ancient people

2. Banana leaves are cheaper

3. Banana leaves are safer (healthy)

4. Banana leaves have an effect on packaged food.

Now the main function of banana leaves is to wrap some food, what foods are wrapped in banana leaves? Well, this time I will summarize some foods or snacks wrapped in banana leaves, usually these foods or snacks are traditional snacks.

Tempeh

Well, tempeh wrapped in banana leaves has the advantage of helping taste and aroma. The polyphenol compounds in banana leaves will give a distinctive taste and aroma and are more delicious to fermented tempeh. But, if you want to buy tempeh wrapped in banana leaves, make sure it's still clean and fit for consumption.

Nagasari Cake

One of these classic market snacks that always makes you miss. Nagasari cake, a traditional snack made from rice flour filled with bananas, usually the banana used for this snack is plantain, actually other types of bananas can also be used.

Nagasari cake or commonly called banana cake has a delicious taste and fragrant aroma, it is caused by this cake wrapped in banana leaves.

Mendut Cake

At first glance, this cake is still the same as Nagasari cake, the difference lies in the raw material, if Nagasari cake is made from rice flour but Mendut cake is made from glutinous rice flour, Mendut cake has a soft and chewy texture.

The contents are also different, in our place, most people use brown sugar as a filling, in other places they use sweet coconut dregs. Of course it tastes very good.

Pepes Fish

Fish Pepes do have a savory and delicious taste, it's no wonder this food has a lot of fans, besides the spices that make this Pepes delicious, banana leaves also make this Pepes have a fragrant and delicious aroma to eat.

Those are some foods, snacks, or cakes wrapped in banana leaves that I have summarized. Actually there are many more foods that are wrapped in banana leaves. The point is the existence of banana leaves is very useful.
