KUCHING: The nut found inside the seed of "dabai" - a seasonal exotic fruit in Sarawak - which is said to taste as good as pistachio, can be promoted as another indigenous product from the state, says Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas.

The state Deputy Premier said prior to this, dabai was only known for its creamy yellowish flesh and the seeds that contained the edible nuts were usually discarded.
