I know this is probably a dumb question but I can’t get it out of my head and google isn’t helping. But do all palms have only one seed per fruit?

Arenga engleri is an example - often 3 seeds per fruit.  https://palmpedia.net/wiki/Arenga_engleri

Also Butia odorata have multiple embryos within a single seed so it's possible to get 2, 3 or even 4 palms from a single seed.  :)
