Pangi or Rowal (Pangium edule)

Huge leaf of my Pangi or Rowal (Pangium edule) also known as Foot ball fruit. It will turn 2 years old this coming April. 😍🌱🌳



Outplanted from barely a foot tall seedling almost 2 years ago.




Yellowish, sweet and aromatic pulp is edible in small quantities.



It produces a large poisonous fruit (the "football fruit" or pangi) which can be made edible by fermentation. Pulp surrounding the seed is eaten in some parts of the Philippines. However, there are reports that it causes headaches.
