About
Acrocomia crispa, also known as the Cuban belly palm or corojo, a palm species which is endemic to Cuba. Formerly placed in its own genus, Gastrococos, recent work found that that genus was nested within Acrocomia. It is a tall, spiny palm with a trunk that is slender at the base, but swollen in the middle, giving it the name "Cuban belly palm" in English. The young palm tree stems are edible by humans and animals; the ripe fruit ripe is used to produce cooking oil and for animal feed.
