Well, there's already a substantial 'Culinary uses' chapter in the article, with sections on cooking with the fruit, flowers, leaves, and trunk, so we're probably about covered as far as an encyclopedia article goes. There's also a link to the Wikipedia cookbook in the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The hyperlink “katogo” (under Uses > Culinary > Fruit) redirects to a town in the Ivory Coast when it should in fact link to the Ugandan banana-related food “katogo (food).” The link of the latter is provided below.
