About Pejibaye

Pejibaye is the edible fruit of a cultivated palm, also known in English as peach palm fruit. It is typically round to oval, with a firm outer skin and dense, starchy flesh surrounding a hard seed. The flesh ranges from yellow to orange and has a substantial texture and a mildly sweet, nutty flavour.

The fruit is commonly cooked before eating and may be served whole or used in other preparations. Fresh fruit and cooked or preserved forms are not identical; varieties and preparation affect colour, texture and flavour, and the seed is not the usual edible portion.
