The karuka (Pandanus julianettii, also called karuka nut and Pandanus nut) is a species of tree in the screwpine family (Pandanaceae) and an important regional food crop in New Guinea.[6] The nuts are more nutritious than coconuts,[2] and are so popular that villagers in the highlands will move their entire households closer to trees for the harvest season.[7][8]
