Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the potential of the Canna plant, exploring its historical use as a decorative plant and its limited application as a food source in various regions like the American Tropics and the Hawaiian Islands. The author's research focuses on understanding the Canna plant's chemical composition and characteristics when cultivated in temperate climates. Through meticulous analysis of different Canna varieties, the author investigates variations in composition across various plant parts ââ â leaves, stems, and rhizomes ââ â and how these fluctuations relate to factors like weather conditions and clone types. The exploration extends to practical considerations, including yields of different Canna forms and their potential as forage crops. The book delves into the culinary aspects of Canna rhizomes, examining their suitability as a food product through cooking and canning tests. Potential challenges such as discoloration and fibre content are addressed, alongside a comparison of different clones in terms of flavour and texture. The author's insights offer valuable knowledge for those interested in the potential of the Canna plant, particularly its viability as a starch source and its possible applications in food and agriculture.
