A very important multi-purpose tree, it is harvested from the wild as a local source of food, medicines and various commodities. It is exploited commercially for its timber and gum; is sometimes cultivated and encouraged to grow semi-wild as a food crop.

The dry, whitish-yellow pulp around the seed has a sweet flavour and is commonly eaten raw; it is also used in making custards and ice cream; and is fermented into an alcoholic beverage
A tea made from the bark is a quite popular drink for lumberjacks working in the forests in Brazil, because it is a natural energy tonic.
