In Omani studies: Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "C. luntii, (J: er 'awiiyan, DA: ra'wiyon), occurs much less frequently than Caralluma flava and C. quadrangula, which are common. A passing herder, would snap off the greener tips and nibble them with relish, but these plants don not occur in sufficient quantities to have ever been of real nutritional significance. The whole plant is edible - flowers, pods and stem". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar).
