The pulor is a fruit which is commonly found in settled areas in Sarawak. When Ibans migrated from Skrang to any part of Sarawak, they would bring the pulor seeds, among other seeds to plant in their new settlements.
The fruits are nutritious and usually consumed when immature, thinly sliced and boiled as a vegetable in soups or stews. Usually each fruit is about 800 gm.
Once the pulor fruit is mature it will drop to the ground expelling many of its brown seeds. The seeds are collected and boiled or roasted. They are similar to chestnuts in texture and flavour.
