The pili nut, also called balsam fruit, comes from the Canarium ovatum tree, which can grow up to 30 meters high and is originally from the Philippines.

The pili nut tree is strong, resistant to hurricanes that often cause major damage in the Philippines. But in stormy weather the tree bears even more fruit. Because the nuts are rich in nutrients and healthy ingredients such as saturated, organic palmitic acid, they are becoming increasingly popular.

The versatile pili tree (Canarium ovatum) is an evergreen tree up to 30 meters high, originates from the Philippines and bears edible fruits called Kedongdong.

The hard nut kernel is located in the triangular nut shell and is used as fuel, for making charcoal or for decoration. The smoke released during combustion repels mosquitoes. The nut itself can be eaten with or without the paper-thin shell, which can be removed by soaking it in hot water.
