Pandanus conoideus, also known as buah merah, is a plant in the Pandanus family that is native to New Guinea. Its fruit, which is known by various names such as marita and buah merah, is a traditional delicacy in Papua New Guinea and Papua, Indonesia. The fruit is typically prepared by splitting it, wrapping it in leaves, and cooking it in an earth oven. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the fruit is its concentrated red color, which is a result of its high beta carotene content. The tree itself is medium-sized, with a taproot system and flexible, dark green leaves that have thorny edges. The flowers are reddish in color and the individual fruit is a drupe that can be cylindrical or triangular in shape. Buah merah is primarily cultivated for its use as a food source and in folk medicine. It is often used in traditional dishes, such as a sauce called marita sauce, and can also be made into ice cream, pudding, and drinks. The leftover pulp from extracting the oil can also be used in cakes and other foods. The fruit is also used as bait for hunting and as fodder for cattle. There are
