E. ventricosum has very small fruits with very large seeds, definitely not something that should be grown for fruit production. Traditionally the inner stem and corm are eaten as mentioned before. They only fruit once and then die completely (not like Musa which do not die when they fruit as is so commonly thought, the plants keep growing, just the shoot that bore fruit dies). You can asexually propagate E. ventricosum but it requires cutting down the plant before flowering.
