Re: Is Musa Ensete P-stem edible?
Musa and Ensete are two different sup species of the Musaceae family. as far as Ensete go only the Ventricosum that i know of has an edible pseudo stem. in Ethiopia were it is grown as a food crop they chop the P-stem and corm up and ferment it. dry it out, then grind it in to a flower for the making of a bread. the seeds are consumed but only in times of extreme famine
i hope that answers your question
