Galda trees bear a refreshing, if salty, nutritious cone-shaped fruit. In the spring the fruit is whitish, but it matures to a golden hue. The fruit becomes ripe as winter ends and spring begins, and remains so for four months.[1] Its seeds are high in protein. The bark of the galda tree is yellowish and its leaves are yellow-green. The trees grow about 30 feet in height.
Distilled Galda oil is produced by squeezing the pulp from Galda trees of the Cairn Hills and is made into an extract used in oil lamps[2][3] and burns almost 50% longer than most other normal oils.[3] It is also used in cooking for meat glazes and baking pastries.[3] Galda oil is considered an "expensive luxury" for use as lamp oil (by common comparison—one pint costs nearly three times normal lamp oil).[3][4]
