One of the fattiest i tasted is tucuma (Astrocaryum vulgare). But acai and buriti (M. flexuosa) are also very oily. Acai is made into a wonderful porridge like soup in Brazil. Very filling! Tastes like avocado with black olives mixed in.

Quote from: red durian on September 26, 2012, 06:49:13 PMCraboo/nance Byrsonima crassifolia is a bit fatty. I grew to love it in Belize. Probably being grown in Florida in some gardens as it ranges up into Mexico naturally. It is one of the most harvest-friendly fruits on the planet.Nance is a very nice tasting fruit with unusual taste. In Brazil they make an excellent ice cream out of it. Was one of my favorites. Tree also very ornamental with very pretty flowers.

Then after that the meat is irradiated. Oh, would you like a dab of pink slime with that? You could call it a cocktail burger. HAHAHAHAdamn...there goes dinner Enjoy your McDonald's cocktail burger. A real molotov cocktail in your stomach! Bon apetit. For more information on McDonald's french fries watch the movie Supersize Me. Really great how their fries could stand on the cupboard for months without growing any mold on them! Even lower life forms are smart enough not to eat them. HAHAHA Now if humans would wise up!

Another fatty fruit is Dabai (tropical olive). Taste just like avocado. Fruit is very appealing...However, seed to flesh ratio is disappointing (seed is much bigger than in regular olive), and skin is not eatable. I was told 3-5 generation chinese and indian "sarawakians" never adopted this fruit in their diets. However, native Malays buying them like crazy.Btw, anyone growing it?
was mentioned in the first reply.
Are those your Bactris setosa fruits in the photo? If so i want some seeds! I'm big on Bactris. Love peach palm (pejibaye) fruits.
Did uxi and Lecythis get mentioned? I have seeds planted and it will be years before they can satisfy my love of lipids.
