It is Vagbhata's snake booti mentioned in ancient literature. Still holds reputed position among snake charmers as well as Traditional Snake Experts like Ganesh.

Some tribes use these jobs tears for adornment..necklaces in
particular, they eat it and most fun is its brewed into a country /
tribal liquor... which sounds like ZUUU ...

and in a weekend course on biblical plants it was mentioned that in
china and Japan and may be even India.. the grain (its after all of a
grass family, if I remember it) the seeds are ground up and used as
flour... rich in protein and some micro nutrients (dont ask me which
ones, I dont remember) ... Job's tears are quite a group of grains...
best use I like is the beads use and :) the country liquor, ha ha...


MOST IMPORTANT IS ITS Ant-iangiogenesis effect and overall anti
cancer activity was being studies as Kanglaite...

PS
I just looked it up... it is still being studied in end stage
Lung, liver , GI and Pancreatic cancers in USA, no results were yet
available as of November this year...

Relevant feedback from another thread:

...... Coix aquatica (Orissa photo), ....

It is clear that Chionachne koenigii is definitely different from Coix gigantea even when treated as Chionachne gigantea. As per priority rule, the genus Coix will prevail over Chionachne, even if someone wants to consider both under the same genus. But there are very distinct differences between the two genera. The new combination of Chionachne gigantea with all the others being treated as synonyms is published in the revision of Chionachne in Blumea. But definitely there is some mistake. I have not yet gone through the full paper of revision of Chionachne published in Blumea. Once I get a copy of this and go through, I will respond further.

The involucre (bead like structure formed from metamorphosed leaf sheath) has an abrupt beak, which is more a character of Coix aquatica.
