I can't speak for the other food items, but the banana flowers sound fine to me.
If you are unsure of anything, better to error on the side of caution and refrain. There are good working lists of food items that can add a great deal of variety.

My Russians love Sweet Potato greens. I know this because I planted 4 beautiful vines in my garden and they were awesome to look at...until Chekov and Yakov discovered them. Now I have four very ugly sweet potato stumps.

They are all good food items in a varied diet. I have tried banana flower, but it was not well received. Aloe is highly liked by my pancakes, and pretty much any edible broadleaf plant that "vines" all seem to like such as sweet potato vine. Methi is liked by all as well and is used as livestock feed in many places, all my tortoises like it.

http://www.feedipedia.org/node/551 for the nutrient content of sweet potato vine
http://www.feedipedia.org/node/686 for banana non-fruit plant parts, flowers are not included as a separate item with analysis.
Just FYI, it is some of the nutrient content of the items. Will

Thank you much. Now I have even more variety for them. Thank you for the website, it seems like a great resource and I'll have to use in the future.
Right now Rake and Ruin are in love with collards, so I chop that up and mix with new things (who knows what they'll love next week, since it varies). One of them took well to the flowers, the other ate some of everything that was offered. The two are relatively different in their preferences.
