Re: edible vs. non-edible

Musa velutina is a good example - sweet fruit, but extremely full of seeds. I wouldn't consider it edible because it's mostly seeds and the pulp is scant.

Re: edible vs. non-edible

One thing to take into consideration is also the corm size. If the plant has not a very big corm (e.g. it's a smaller plant), you chop it in the middle of the pseudostem and put it out of the soil,...
