The fruit is actually medicinal and edible but only in small bites, 1/4 of the fruit at a time, otherwise it can become noxious. The fruit can be frozen for many months and still have its medicinal effect. Within one week of eating the pulp and nut daily, I experienced improved short term memory. South Koreans are familiar with the fruit pulp for this purpose. The fruit pulp is highly misrepresented in the U.S. Someday, this will change. The seeds are found in asian grocery stores. The fruit that is made up of both pulp and seed is hard to find unless you know of such trees in your city.

The nut inside is edible in small quantities but long term should be roasted or boiled. You can consult a veterinarian for more specifics.
