I had seen plants like that before, but I did not know if it’s the exact plant like what you posted here. But it really looks the same. Yes,it is considered a weed, and we do not know that it has many health benefits.

But how can one use it? Is it being cooked? Isn’t it poisonous or safe to eat?

  i searched the internet and some countries really propagate it for business purposes. They dry the fruit like that of raisins or prunes.
  
  I tasted the green fruit, the one inside the one a took a picture of, and i am still alive, so i think that it is ok.
  
  I am still waiting for the fruits to ripen so i will know what is its taste.
  
  My husband will try to plant it to place that will not bother the rice plants.
  
  I will keep the update in the near future.
  
  thank you for your comment and questions.

@Ruby Ate Rubs, this fruit is I think what we would pluck in the field and we pop it in our forehead. Though, we would pick it up in a shrub not a tree.

If it isn’t that one we pop in our forehead, I certainly have seen this.

Certainly, this fruit can be of great help for those who got sick with prostate cancer, like my father and father-in-law.

I hope further studies could be done to validate its healthy claims.

Indeed, some things are taken for granted. They only will realize that it is important, when it is gone already.

So, where is Rodel here now Ate Rubs?

  I think the one that you pop in your forehead is the other variety of this golden berry which has 3 very small fruit inside its lanter-like fruit.
  
  this golden berry has only one larger fruit inside. I think they already have a study about this fruit, but since i cannot copy what they wrote, for fear of being charged with plagiarism, I just mentioned some of its health benefits to tickle our sense of awareness.
  
  Regarding Rodel, I will follow up on him.
  
  Thanks for the invite to this site. although I think the pay is a little bit low, for a starter like me, I will charge it more to experience rather than the pay I can get from my submission of articles.
