All rats fed on diets containing different fractions of this nut which had been submitted to different treatments were killed as follows raw nuts, within 2-3 days; raw or cooked nut oil, 6-8 days; roasted nuts, within 14-16 days. Chemical analysis of the seeds revealed a high protein content (26.75%) with a good proportion of essential amino acids and a high lipid content (57.90%)
