Banana is one of the most popular fruit in the world. People use banana fruit in making cake, dessert, ice-cream, etc.<\/p>\n

But, do you know that other part of banana tree is edible too?<\/p>\n

\nIn Malaysia, banana bud is a delicacy and even monkey knows it.<\/p>\n

However, in Miki Survival Camp<\/a> in Kota Belud, I learn that banana trunk is edible too!<\/p>\n

\"cutting<\/p>\n

Not the whole trunk is edible though, first you need to remove the outer layer of banana trunk to get its core (the edible part). The banana “core” is so smooth and white that it looks like a PVC plastic pipe.<\/p>\n

\n\"preparing
\nThen cutting the core into smaller pieces and pull out the thread-like fiber in the core, otherwise it will taste sticky and weird.<\/p>\n

\"banana
\nAt last cook it with coconut milk and a banana vege is ready to be served. Though it is not my favorite, it tastes ok. For those who lose in jungle, they can consume the banana trunk after they finish the banana. This can save their lives.<\/p>\n
