 Pili nuts: A Filipino (Pinoy) food adventure
Pili nut is the nut of any tree of the genus Canarium (family Burseraceae) and has the highest oil content among all edible nuts.
Roasted whole pili nuts are sold salted or sugar coated (caramelized or otherwise), ground pili nuts are made into marzipans and puddings and chopped pili nuts are used for garnishing ice cream and cakes (check out my pili nut butterscotch brownies).
Little known outside Southeast Asia, the unpopularity of the pili nut for wide-scale commercial food manufacturing may be due to the difficulty in cracking the hard shells in addition to inconsistent production and lack of quality control.

Pili trees are located in the free nature – there are for example very old stocks of trees near Mount Bulusan -, but now more and more farmers are planting pili trees with help of the local government.
Because of high assessed export-potentials, the government has elected the pili nut as flagship-product of the impoverished province of Bicol and has promised supports to farmers, processors and dealers with regard to the commercial exploitation.

Bacteria are constantly losing and reforming pili as they grow in the body and the same bacterium may switch the adhesive tips of the pili in order to adhere to different types of cells and evade immune defenses (see Fig.
Bacteria that use pili to initially colonize host cells include Neisseria gonorrhoeae (inf), Neisseria meningitidis (inf), uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (inf).
