Editing Pandanus utilis (section)

== Fruit and uses ==

The fruit heads contain many compressed drupes and have been associated with cooked use in tropical-plant references. UF/IFAS emphasizes that only a small amount of edible pulp is present, so the fruit is more useful as a distinctive ornamental and botanical feature than as a substantial fresh-fruit crop.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup>

The cooking warning attached to the wild-food discussion is not a species-specific toxicology assessment. Culinary use should therefore remain cautious and should not be treated as a general safety recommendation or as a substitute for current food-safety guidance.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>
