Hello there! So plant taxonomy can be a nightmare and controversial, and it's always changing! But! It seems like that sugar can and pitpit are two different species, at least according to Wikipedia and a couple of reaearch articles I came across teying to read more about pitpit. Sugar cane is usually Saccharum officinarum and all of the various hybrids jt has now. Pitpit, also know as naviso, dule, duruka and a bunch of other names, is Saccharum edule. To make it more confusing rhough, the two form a spwcies complex, which means they are so similar looking twlling them apart is very difficult ans boundaries between the two are unclear. More confusingly, species complex sometimes hybridize, which I can't say if that's happened naturally for these two species, but they almost certainly can because plants get pretty crazy with hybridization. So genetically they may be similar, especially if there's any overlap in their natove range. Which, they do have- bith are from Papau New Guinea. So they probably have a natural hybrid out there. Anyways, that's my nerdy rant. I'll have to look at some papers for more info later!

My family called this "kembang tebu" (Indonesian for sugarcane flower). Some people call it "tebu telur" (egg sugarcane), for it's rich indulgent flavor (after cooked) that almost like egg.

Another good example of different cultivars of the same species are zucchini, pumpkin and various types of squash, which are all Cucurbita pepo. Also Cucumis melo encompasses most types of melons, like both cantaloupes and honeydews. And Phaseolus vulgaris includes lots of seemingly different beans: green beans, black beans, white beans, lima beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and a dozen others. Once something is cultivated it's pretty easy to continue cultivating it into new varieties.

Not that it tastes like it, but it is a food that is from an unblossomed flower. Something else you need to try, the unripened green seed head of the cattail, before it develops the fluff. It tastes like a mix of broccoli and cauliflower.
