it is easy to do Bob. if not, u can lightly burn the nana leaves and freeze them... that way u have some handy when u need them. instead of using foil, u can wrap anything with the nana leaves. give u that extra natural flavor ;)!

to lightly burn: hold the leave stem, put over fire. place the darker green color against the fire. from the back of the leaves, it will show traces of what is being lightly burned. lightly burning the nana leaves, makes the leaves pliable and easy to work with. cut off the leaves from the stem. wash and fold the leaves, then freeze.

whenever i barbecue or roast fish over the coals, i always use nana's leaves to wrap them with. a wee bit expensive here, since it is a rare commodity in this area.

maybe next year i should try growing nanas here ;). hint, hint LOL!
