Recent research has highlighted the significant and varied nutritional components within the *Sterculia* genus, with edible seeds from species like *Sterculia striata* containing up to 19.58% protein and 21.15% fat. This diversity in composition across different species means that the overall nutritional profile is not uniform and depends heavily on the specific plant part and species being examined.

Seeds from the *Sterculia foetida* tree yield a substantial amount of oil, with one study finding a 58.7 g oil yield per 100g of seeds. This high oil content is just one aspect of the overall nutritional value of *Sterculia foetida*, a plant with traditionally recognized dietary potential.
