Many palms are cultivated for their fruits. The phoenix type is no exception. Its genus contains more than 12 different species of wild date palms that are used in commercial production.

It’s eggplant, if you are from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, aubergine, if you live in the UK, or brinjal, if you happen to reside in South Africa or Asia.
