They are not poisonous but they are too tough and fibrous for humans to digest. They have been considered medicinal by some cultures in the past, though, such as poultices for wounds and burns.

The banana leaf is usually used to wrap foods in for cooking and then serves as it's own plate. Some other parts of the the banana plant, other then the fruit, however, are eaten in some places, such as the young stem and parts of the root. This may depend on the type of banana plant, however. Other primates like gorillas eat parts of the leaves, mostly the middle rib part.
