THE CORAL ROUTE
Sir-In the programme "The: Coral Route," on June 24, from 1ZB, I was amazed to hear Bryan O’Brien, after saying that authors should be sure of their facts when referring to an author who mistook the pandanus tree for a pineapple tree, say that pandanus fruit is wholly inedible. This is incorrect. Ripe pandanus is an excellent source of vitamin C and in many Pacific islands is eaten raw (that is, chewed and the fibres left), boiled and used in soups, boiled, beaten and dried to make a flour which is mixed with other local products to form a very palatable sweet. Should not compéres be sure of: their facts?
