It is green and round, with small prickly spines on the outside of it. This vegetable smells like apples or a mild melon when sliced and it is very spongey on the inside. We usually treat it like any other root vegetable, cooking it by frying or boiling. The same way we make plantain fritters, you can make pana fritters. They are pretty yummy. Once you cook the pana, it becomes really tender and it is mildly starchy as well. Very good and very abundant in Puerto Rico. :) Pana is a vegetable that grows on trees.

I saw a television show called Bizzare Foods with host Anrew Zimmern. The drink looks delicious and I want to make it. If it is at all possible could you email me and let me know if there is anyway to buy it. Thanks, Derek Trapp Hello,
