This is another fiber producing palm that also yields edible fruits. The liquid endosperm is also drunk and is similar in taste and texture to coconut milk. Confined to uplands, this palm takes over from A. aculeatum in western Amazonia and has been planted by indigenous groups in some areas because of it is so useful.
