Pedada is a mangrove swamp fruit which grows wild. In fact the tree is actually a type of mangrove with small leaves , and small trunks and branches. In Sarawak the pedada grows along most of the rivers and even near the sea coasts as the tree tolerate sea water.
It is also known a Crabapple mangrove or Mangrove Apple. Its scientific name is Sonnerata caseolaris scientifically.
The fruits are edible and are usually eaten as a salad with a belacan sambal. They are a bit tart, so a sourish dip is good.
Pedada wood can be used as fishing net floats.
fire flies seem to like the sap of the fruits so in some heavily pedada wooded river banks, these fire flies would stay put at night and create a very surreal atmosphere.
