s_s_sridhar  +  103979 Mon, 30 May 05 09:09 AM Hi All, Can any body tell me the name of a fruit (or seed) of palm family. This is not a coconut. It is of black colour at ripening state and green at raw state. Its shape is spherical. It will be available in tropical places. Thanks, SRI s_s_sridhar Joined on Mon, Aug 23 2004 New Member 50

I know nothing about palm trees and/or their fruits, but maybe this page might help you? http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ecoph10.htm pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!

	rwiles  +  104255 Tue, 31 May 05 10:33 AM I used to live in Malaysia and am trying to remember all the Asian fruits I used to eat (I've excluded obviously incorrect suggestions like Mango of course). Apologies if any of these suggestions are clearly NOT what you're thinking of, but my knowledge of which fruits are palm related is quite limited. Any of the following: Longan Rambutan Mungoosteen Durian rwiles

	s_s_sridhar  +  104323 Tue, 31 May 05 02:02 PM Thanks rwiles, but I could not pick mine from your list. The fruit will have hard outer peal. We have to cut it with knife after that we will have two or three or four jelly kind of pieces. I know Mungoosteen, which is not I am thinking. s_s_sridhar
