Nuts
Monkey Pot
B tier
Monkey pot is a vernacular name linked to Lecythis fruits pot-like woody cases, the forest image behind some cream and paradise nut stories. Culinary value is still the seed inside, not the woody pot. A good food product is the clean kernel. A bad edible claim on the wrong species is a foraging hazard. Focus kitchen talk on kernel quality and rancidity. The pot is ecology and name colour.
