BambooMN Bamboo Leaves for Cooking Zongzi, Banana Leaf Alternative, Grilling/Barbeque, Natural Boiling Bags - 12.25 x 3.5 Inches - 1000 pack

Easier to use than dried ones, and the consistent quality is fantastic! Strongly suggested.

I got them delivered this afternoon and I made some “粽子” in the evening. This is what I want. The fresh bamboo leaves! Happy dragon boat festival!

I appreciate that they are hydrated but pretty small.

Fresh large leaves, came well packaged. I’m making zongzi and am very excited to have found these to try over the dries ones. Highly recommend, will buy again.

As a retired sushi chef, I still like to garnish and present my plates to my family in an attractive and professional way, and these bamboo leaves are perfect for that. Same kind we used in the restaurants, and at a super good price.The leaves come in vacuum sealed packs of 100 leaves, but I open the package and divide the leaves up into groups of five and reseal them in airtight seal-a-meal pouches. Sealed like this, they keep for a year in the refrigerator. When I use them, I keep them bagged until it is time to use them, rinse and then plate with the leaves. They dry in an hour when exposed to the air, so keep them wet until you use them. They really dress up a plate, restaurant-style. I've shown some examples of my sashimi, sushi and chicken karaage fried chicken platings. I've already used hundreds of these leaves and gotten many compliments.

I bought these as an alternative to banana leaves for wrapping pork shoulder. (After moving to a remote area, I no longer have access to the Asian markets where I used to get my banana leaves.)These are well-packaged, clean, beautiful and fresh, and worked like a dream! They smelled good when I opened the package, and imparted a lovely, subtle flavor to the pork while keeping it moist. I will definitely buy them again!!!

But good size!

This is fresh bamboo leaves, smaller than I expected, but very fragrant, very fresh. Make my zongzi more delicious. I'll keep buying.
