Being located in the tropical region of South India, we grow banana plants at our Home garden and use almost all parts of the plant at home. The tender Banana leaves are used as plates for eating and the young banana fingers, tender inner stem of the tree and the flowers are used as vegetable to make delicious and healthy snacks.

Signing UpStep 1: Banana Flower
The banana flower is a large, pinkish blossom you can find at the end of a bunch of baby bananas. Its red or pink bracts snugly enclose the delicate florets, which would not form banana fingers and grow farther down the stem.
Banana flowers are considered to be a good source of many vitamins along with dietary fibers, proteins and unsaturated fatty acids. They are also considered to possess immense medicinal value.
Harvest the whole Banana flower from the plant, when it no longer produces the Banana fruit fingers.

New but it really makes sense... We eat also some flowers here. So why not the big ones from bananas. Cool thing!
What do the flowers taste like (not smell, taste) if you eat them unflavored? Like banana or different?
Switzerland is a _little_ too cold for them to grow outdoors. At the moment we have around -10° Centigrades (14°F). So ATM we have more the weather for Banana-ice than -flowers ;)
The all-year-mean is just 7-9°C.
Also the weather is quite rainy. Switzerland has around 1000-1500mm of rain per m^2.
