- I happy with the quality of green cooking bananas I received. Green banana is a healthy substitute for rice, potatoes, noodles etc. Here it’s boiled, and served with chives , sautéed with onions, garlic, bell peppers,, celery, onions powder, garlic powder, black pepper and oregano. It can be boiled with or without salt, I prefer it without salt. Make a very delicious snd healthy meal. Can be served with protein of choice.
