AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
Pitambu is a hand-harvestable food fruit in Star Citizen — a thin-skinned, bright-red fleshed plant that players pick by hand, eat for survival, sell as a trade commodity, or use to make Lula's Pitambu Fruit Juice.
What it is
Pitambu is a fruit-bearing plant classified in the game data as a harvestable consumable (class name `Harvestable_Pitambu`, size 1). Lore describes the fruit as having thin, waxy skin that peels away easily using its green leaf-like growths, revealing crisp, watery, bright-red flesh studded with tiny white seeds that have a mild, nutty taste. The flesh and seeds are eaten together. It is flora/plant — there is no source creature.

Gameplay use
Pitambu serves three roles: (1) an edible survival item that can be consumed directly to restore a small amount of hunger; (2) a trade commodity that can be sold for profit; and (3) a crafting/cooking ingredient — it is the base fruit for **Lula's Pitambu Fruit Juice**, an immune-boosting drink that restores a small amount of hunger and thirst. As a raw harvestable it is gathered by hand-picking from plants in the open world (FPS harvesting), not mined.

Effects
The Pitambu fruit item carries the effect tags Hydrating, Hypo-Metabolic, and Immune Boosting in the game data. The derived drink, Lula's Pitambu Fruit Juice, is specifically an immune-boosting consumable — the immune-boost effect helps the player's body resist harmful environmental elements — while also topping up hunger and thirst.

Where to harvest
Pitambu grows in the open world on Hurston (Stanton system). Community reports place it in the savannah biome — recognizable by lush vegetation, trees, cacti, grass and bushes — with a documented cluster of Pitambu plants near the settlement of Oparei on Hurston. The fruit is hand-pickable from the plants, then either eaten or carried off to sell. (Harvestable spawns shift between game patches, so exact coordinates are not guaranteed long-term.)

Value & where to sell
Pitambu (commodity code PITA) is a tradeable commodity, listed as tradeable as of patch 4.8.1. UEX records a historical average sell price around 58,163 aUEC per SCU with a recent best sell near 68,000 aUEC per SCU; the primary confirmed buyer was "Sacren's Plot" (terminal CTSACR). A separate harvestable price reference lists a much lower per-unit value of ~16.50 aUEC for a single picked fruit, reflecting that one fruit is a tiny fraction of an SCU. Prices are volatile and reset/recalculate after patches, so treat figures as indicative.
Grades & variants
No grade or quality tiers (A/AA/AAA, juvenile/adult, etc.) are documented for Pitambu — it is a single, ungraded fruit item. The notable related variant is the processed product Lula's Pitambu Fruit Juice rather than a higher grade of the raw fruit.
Source
Pitambu comes from the pitambu plant itself (a fruit-bearing flora). It is not an animal body-part, so there is no source creature.

Lore / discovery
Pitambu was introduced to the game during the Alpha 3.7 harvestables update, which added hand-pickable flora to the world. In-fiction flavor centers on its sensory profile: waxy peelable skin, watery crisp red flesh, and small nutty-tasting white seeds eaten alongside the flesh.
Trivia
- Game data lists Pitambu with a mass near 0.1 kg, cargo occupancy of roughly 900–940 µSCU, and dimensions around 0.12 × 0.12 × 0.09 m. - Its commodity ticker is PITA. - Internal/data UUID: 60deb833-f312-4d9d-bcac-247de330384f.
