Pandanus tectorius fruit is a major food source across the Pacific Islands, where individual segments (keys) are eaten raw or cooked. In the Marshall Islands, the pandanus fruit is considered so important that there are over 200 named varieties — more named cultivars than exist for any other Pacific Island food crop.
