Nope, someone asked here on the forum, whether those flowers were poisonous (as he had thought)?
Because, as a contradiction to what he thought, he saw his African neighbours eat it (they eat it normally in Africa) and thus found out, that they are edible. So he asked, whether all those flowers were edible (not only certain cultivars) and whether they can be eaten as normal bananas.
Is it better? Hope this clears it up.
And someone answered:
Yes, eating both - male and female flowers is common practice in Africa, just as much as eating corm and wrapping food with banana leaves.
