You can also perform on them. They're used as a musical instrument in the Hmong culture... |

I wouldn't be touching those banana leaves from the Belle Isle Conservatory. 
When I asked one of the workers there, I was told they are sprayed with pesticides that are not good for human consumption. |

Some of the Mexican markets should have them too. They are in flat packages in the freezer section. |
