                                The banana plant, the world's largest herb, is prized for its fruit, but only the tender, whitish inner core is the part of a banana stem that is edible. This fibrous core is a delicacy in many cuisines, celebrated for its nutritional content and unique texture, while the tougher outer sheaths are discarded.
