Nilagang saging, sometimes also known simply as boiled bananas, is a simple Filipino dish consisting of boiled saba bananas (or cardava bananas) commonly dipped in fermented fish paste (bagoong na isda, also called ginamos in Cebuano). The bananas are typically unripe or just about to ripen, when they are still starchy. Nilagang saging is regarded as a comfort food and is a common savory snack in rural areas of the Philippines, usually eaten for merienda. It is sometimes also sold as street food.[1][2]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
