Plantain
I can be planted not as a seed
but by stem propagation
I have a tender green trunk
I grow from a whole big red pod
with male and female parts in the same flower
that facilitates fertilization
into thick skinned plantains with baby seeds inside
when I am green I can be fried into chips
and when ripe can be steamed or sauteed to become very sweet
Brussels Sprouts
No need to fly to Brussels
