FOOTBALL FRUIT

Pangium edule is a tall tree in Southeast Asia that produces a fruit the size and shape of a football. Hence one of its names, football fruit, also known as pangi, kepayang and pakem. Its taste and odor have been compared to durian fruit. The seeds, bark and leaves are poisonous. The seeds are used to kill rats and wild chickens, and the bark and leaves are used to stun fish so they can be scooped up easily.
