how interesting, i didn't know this fruit. what type of palm does it come from??

Borassus genus contains five fan palms among which this Borassus flabellifer is the one which is found in southern Asia, from India to Indonesia.The fan shaped tall tree bears fruits like that of a coconut tree. The pulp of this fruit is tender and the husk is fibrous similar to that in coconut. Palmyra fruits are edible in all stages. Each fruit consists of 1-3 seeds, each enclosed within a woody endocarp.

Wow apu... Khub interesting silo...!
