Botanical

The roasted seeds are eaten. Raw seeds are used as candlenuts (!). Raw, germinated cotyledons taste like green string beans (!). The aroma of the seed is probably due to coumarin, which is often used to flavor tobacco. The coumarin in the seeds is considered antispasmodic, cardiac, and diaphoretic. Uala Cuna prohibit the fellilng of this tree, perhaps because of mystical properties ascribed to it (!). They eat the nuts at breakfast with chucula. (references)
