Hola Ignacio. Es muy interesante lo que dices, por aquí no creo que sepa nadie que es comestible. Tal vez me anime a probarla si la vuelvo a ver por algún camino... Saludos.

Hola,, aqui en Mexico lo consumimos tanto en palanquetas con miel y malteadas, es muy agradable, conformaba parte de los alimentos prehispanicos de las antiguas civilizaciones mesoamericanas
