In my climate (California) at least, it seems that only the new corms are
worth eating, and only at certain times of the year.  I haven't fully
explored this, but I have definitely had mixed results with trying to cook
Canna.  Often it seems it is impossible to get the plant to soften up.  It
stays crunchy and fibrous.  I think high temperatures help.  I recently tried
sauteing the corms, sections of shoot, and leaves, cut into small pieces, and
was able to get the corms to soften up with a lot of heat, with the rest
becoming tender enough to include in a stir-fry or something.
 
I'd like to know how people make noodles out of Canna.

I am in Southern California, I have been harveting in fall when the leaves
start to die back. It is definitely crunchy but I haven't had problem with
fibrous.? I don't mind the crunchy texture at all.????????????????
