Pulor Seeds

the pulor is a good fruit but in a way it is very unique as a food. Soups are usually made from the unripe fruit by the Ibans of Sarawak.

When the pulor fruit is too ripe, it will drop on the ground, expelling a lot of brown seeds . These seeds when boiled or roasted taste like chestnuts. Hence many people say that they are the chestnuts of Sarawak.

The Iban people like to eat the nuts as much as they like the soups made from the immature fruits.
