  • Cassabanana?

    Anyone tried growing these?

    Cassabanana

    I'll probably struggle to get enough sustained heat but I'm having a go this year
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

    The seed infusion is taken in Brazil as a febrifuge, vermifuge, purgative and emmenagogue. The leaves are employed in treating uterine hemorrhages and venereal diseases. In Yucatan, a decoction of leaves and flowers (2 g in 180cc water) is prescribed as a laxative, emmenagogue and vermifuge, with a warning not to make a stronger preparation inasmuch as the seeds and flowers yield a certain amount of hydrocyanic acid.


    Fair enough. Why?
    To see a world in a grain of sand
    And a heaven in a wild flower

      Thought I might go wild and just eat them!

        Sicana odorifera. Long slender orange fruits 1-2 ft. long borne on a long trailing vine over forty foot long. Very fragrant, sweet fruits that are eaten raw, cooked or preserved. Also used as an insect repelling room perfume. Eating the fruit is said to prevent tonsillitis.
