How Long Does banana leaf last?

We recommend trying to use them ASAP, but if you plan on cooking with them later (or have leftovers), the leaves should be good for about a week in your fridge, or about six months in the freezer, as long as they are tightly wrapped in plastic to prevent drying out, according to The New Food Lover’s Companion.
