About Peach palm fruit
Peach palm fruit, also called pejibaye, is the edible fruit of the peach palm. It is commonly cooked before eating and may be served whole or used in other preparations; it is not a peach despite the name.
The fruit is typically oval, with a firm skin that can be red, orange, or yellow, and a dense, starchy to oily flesh around a hard seed. Its flavor is mildly sweet and can be nutty. Color, size, and texture differ among varieties and growing conditions.
