Football fruit - Seeds

Pangium edule, known as football fruit, is a tropical species known for its large fruits and for seeds traditionally used in Indonesia under names such as kluwek. It is a plant of notable tropical and ethnobotanical interest.

This species should be approached with care: Pangium edule seeds are associated with traditional culinary use only after specific preparation processes. For botanical or ornamental cultivation, its appeal lies in its rarity and unusual character.

How to sow football fruit seeds

Sow Pangium edule seeds in a deep, rich and well-drained substrate. Keep moisture regular without waterlogging, and use containers with enough room for early root development.

Place the seed container in a bright, protected environment. Once seedlings are established, transplant them carefully into larger containers, taking care to preserve the young root system.
