Post Ensete ventricosum being processed - short clip
Just happened to stumble across this fascinating short clip of the ensete being processed in Ethiopia and the importance of it as a root crop so I thought I would share it.

My wife tried the Maurelii version leaves as a food cooking wrap. Unlike the green leafed,it gave a bitterness off. I would guess the red leaves tap root also would have that taste.
She uses the "Ice Cream" or whatever the real cultivar it is, green leaves. They taste fine.

That's inetersting Stan so is the red version a specially bred plant for horticultural purposes then? They are clearly using the green variety in the clip.

That was fascinating, Tim - thanks for posting the link. Who knew the pulp could be stored for so long!?
