The pic below is a small type of chontaduro. 6.1% fat 41% protein 50% carbohydrates also high in amino acids and vitamins. Full of hairs but the taste makes it palatable. They are tropical but can survive here(Puebla2000m), my neighbor has a mature tree. Would make a great tree for silvopasture cus the fruit drops all year. Would also be a great staple food for humans.

There are a lot of varieties of these, and the fruit range from those you have (which I like eating and birds especially our local flocks of little parrots, go nuts for) to bigger ones that must be cooked and are indeed a staple food in areas of northwestern Brazil ("pupunha").
