As we all know, banana trees have great economic value mainly because they produce bananas. In addition, banana trees have a strong adsorption effect on dust in the air. Many roads have them. Banana trees exist mainly to absorb carbon dioxide and micro-particles in the air. However, in Africa, they have more than these two functions. Their banana trees do not produce bananas, but they can feed tens of millions of people in Africa. Why is this?
The pulp in bananas has extremely high nutritional value, so we generally only eat the pulp part of bananas, and most of the banana peels are thrown away, let alone the banana trees. In Africa, the roots and stems of this banana tree can be used as food.
In fact, African banana trees are considered banana trees by many people only because they look very similar. However, the nutritional value of this African banana tree is not any worse than that of real banana trees. People in Africa like to treat bananas as banana trees. The tree fiber is used as a raw material for making staple food. African people remove the skin from the roots of banana trees and grind the tree fiber into a powder-like shape.
Then the powder like this is wrapped in banana leaves and placed in the soil to ferment. After a period of time, it will turn into a dough. This is a unique African delicacy called Keke. division. The method of eating this kind of Keke is also very simple. Just put it in the pot and bake it, then add homemade sauce and it is ready to eat.
This kind of banana tree doesn’t sound like much, but because of this kind of tree, it can feed tens of millions of Africans in backward and poor countries. Not only does Africa have such magical trees; There are amazing trees such as baobab trees and sausage trees.
