Default Palms with culinary fruits

Several species from the Palm family (Arecaceae, aka Palmae) have culinary fruits. Some of them also have well-known cultivars. Let's see how many names we can compile here.

I'll start with the ones I have:
Butia capitata: commonly known as Jelly Palm, Pindo Palm.
Jubaea chilensis: commonly known as Chilean Wine Palm.
Phoenix dactylifera 'Medjool': commonly known as Medjool Date Palm.
Phoenix dactylifera 'Zahidi': commonly known as Zahidi Date Palm.

Here are some others:
Bactris gasipaes: commonly known as Peach Palm.
Cocos nucifera: commonly known as Coconut Palm.
Elaeis guineensis: commonly known as African Oil Palm.
Elaeis oleifera: commonly known as American Oil Palm.
Phoenix canariensis: commonly known as Canary Island Date Palm.
Phoenix reclinata: commonly known as Senegal Date Palm.
Serenoa repens: commonly known as Saw Palmetto.

What names of palms with culinary fruits can you add?
