Microcosmus sabatieri and several similar species from the Mediterranean Sea are eaten in France (figue de mer, violet), Italy (limone di mare, uova di mare),Greece (fouska, φούσκα). In Greece they are consumed just raw with lemon or in salads with olive oil, lemon and parsley.
The piure (Pyura chilensis) is used as food in the cuisine of Chile, consumed both raw and used as ingredients in seafood stews like bouillabaisse.
Pyura praeputialis is known as cunjevoi in Australia. This was once used as a food source by Aboriginal people living around Botany Bay, but is now used mainly for fishing bait. Note: the word "cunjevoi" is also used for two species of rainforest plant, at least one of which is toxic to humans.
