Pili nuts are not very common. They are native to maritime Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea, and Northern Australia, but the only country right now that commercially cultivates them is the Philippines.[1] The young shoots and the fruit pulp are edible. The shoots are used in salads, and the pulp is eaten after it is boiled and seasoned.
