Is The Gunnera Seed Pod Needed ?

Every year I see these huge seed pods growing out of my gunnera plants. I do not use the seeds, so is it necessary to let the plant waste its energy on making seeds, OR can I cut them off to allow more energy go to the leaves ? Thank You

You can trim off any plant's seed pods if you don't want it reseeding or don't want to save the seed.
