The pictures of South Indian diva Tamannaah enjoying a meal that is served on plantain leaf have gone viral. Sharing these pictures, in which the actress is seen in the dramatic attire of an Indian Goddess, she wrote, “I feel like a Goddess when I eat on a banana leaf”.
Environment friendly
Switching to plantain leaves from plastic plates and cutlery that pile up the landfills is an amazing way to enjoy meals without hurting the environment. Besides, plantain leaves have anti-bacterial properties that kill the bacteria in food. Plantain leaf has a wax-like coating that is aromatic too. When hot food is served, this wax melts and makes the food smell and taste great.
It is easy to clean the plantain leaf. Just running it under the water is enough to clean the leaf. This is better than plates that are washed with soaps or dishwashing liquids as the chemical remnants of it may be found on the ‘clean’ plates.
