pīʻai

Haw to Eng, Kent (1986),

Candlenut (Aleurites moluccana), also known as the kukui tree. It produces the nut of either name with many uses: it can be made into a black dye, polished and strung as a necklace or lei; eaten ground and uncooked as a purgative; used as a drying oil in varnishes and fertilizer. But the edible part to man is the relish (ʻinamona) made of crushed, roasted nut kernels with salt and chili pepper added. (KILO.)
