I was looking at pics and reading about this palm fruit.

wondering if anyone has sampled the fruits? or if anyone is growing it?

this one looks nutritious.

and tasty.

just bring your plaquers brand dental floss picks.

Can you give a link to some information about this palm?  I can't find much to read and now you've got me curious.

Thanks.  I love learning about edible tropical fruits that aren't on my list.  I think it would be a good palm to have.  I'd perhaps plant it where the pigs and cows roam, let them eat most of the fruits and then have the nuts for myself as a reserve food (unless of course they are unexpectedly good)
