    Everyones making fun of the "trial and error" bit, but listening to the man speak about the origins of the plant as a food, it sounds like the people were in a position where they didn't have a choice. Imagine being so desperate for food that people were willing to try to make a poisonous plant edible. It might have been trial and error, but it sounds like it was out of desperation and need, not just for the fun of it....

    Do you ever stop and think about how many people throughout history must have died trying to figure out what's ok to eat?
    That being said, it's pretty amazing that through human ingenuity, they found a way to not only survive, but also figure out so many different uses for this poisoned plant.

    People who are commenting about the trial and error statement, you do realize that it's possible to eat small amounts of something poisonous to test it without dying? It's called titration.

    I am amazed that japan is true to its culinary culture...and preserve and pride in it.. In south India. My grand mother has fond memories of using the interior soft tissues of palm trees to extract starch and cook a gruel. I never had it.. Now the ancient technique to harvest it is also lost with the country achieving food sufficiency.
