Hi,
Are you talking about saw palmetto, Serenoa repens? There is an extract used
for prostate gland problems that derives from these seeds. The Indians used
them as a food source, they fall into the edible but not eatable category
IMO.
The Sabel palmetto has much smaller black seeds that, to me, taste similar
to dates. Much drier but close.
hth, -_- how

I have two small palmetto tree's in my front yard, that produce small
orange
fruits.. they are pretty sour and stringy,
but was wondering if anyone has ever used these in any kind of recipes?
