Very recently it has been shown that the tops of the plant are valuable as sources of proteins, and as such may be used either fresh for human consumption or dried and ground as a meal for cattle. For many years, natives of Africa and Australia have eaten the young green foliage as a vegetable, but curiously enough this is little if at all practised in the New World.
