The leaves themselves as you know are thick, so they are not very tender, and they are a tiny bit fuzzy. Makes me wonder now what the flower tastes like. :) Nature truly provides the spice to life.

Strange how I too have read that so many things are toxic or poisoness or whatever, and then read from other sources... a plant could have been used in a positive manner and highly celebrated. For instance, I eat the leaves of this ginger every now and again for the fun of it.... for as an explorer.... One can use their inner senses to redefine and create new and evolving relationships with any component of Nature. What ever one is attracted to is in essence a mystery to be investigated and expanded upon. With these new connections... we transform not only our inner selves, but the entire community of organisms that we are inherently all linked to. By listening to how the world speaks to us... we expand upon our evolving language to sing a unique song that is in harmony with that which is truly alive in the universe. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
