* yes - and the male stamen-heads are a nice vegetable to freeze. We
have some in the pantry now, striped off the stems and microwaved with
Corn flour and cheese to make a loaf in which the corn flavour of the
flour nicely combines with the corn-like flavour of the Cattail flowers.
It's also possible, when the heads start to shed pollen, to shake the
pollen off the heads into a bag, and then use it as a golden flour in
baking or pancakes.
