The large fruits are eaten raw, or cooked with sugar to flavor liquor ("huitoachado") and make a type of preserve. The juice is used as a dye for many needs, including the skin. The fruit is also used for respiratory ailments, and can be cooked into a cough and sore throat remedy. The wood is excellent for carving.
