Throughout history, banana leaves have been used as natural bandages. There are several methods for sterilizing banana leaves, with the most common being wilting, which involves passing the leaf over a flame. While it is well-established that banana leaves are effective natural bandages, we believe they could be enhanced by incorporating certain fruits. We chose pomegranates for their strong plant-based immune properties and strawberries for their ability to boost white blood cell counts. On paper, these combinations seem promising and could potentially improve the ability of banana leaves to combat E. coli.
Nice alternative method by using oils and extracts to avoid the conflict found from sugars in the fruit.
