Maracujá

ECOLOGY

Passiflora edulis is native to Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The passion fruit is round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. It grows high in the rainforest canopy providing housing and excess nectar for ants.  Maracujá is very popular in Brazil and primarily used for food, in the form of juices, jams, jellies, ice cream, and liqueurs. The leaves and juice contain passiflorin, a natural sedative, used to lower blood pressure and against anxiety, and tea prepared with leaves has a diuretic effect.

Açaí

ECOLOGY

Açaí palms are found throughout the Amazon basin and are particularly abundant in the eastern region.  Açaí prefers flooded and wetland areas and easily regenerates. Açaí needs a second canopy, to provide shade, preventing people from cutting the taller trees in the region, and protecting the natural flora.

The local and indigenous river people in the Amazon forest have been consuming açaí berries for hundreds of years and it can make up to 80% of their diet. With the flourishing popularity, the commerce of the fruit has become the main source of income for many families and most of the that comes from Brazil is wild harvested and fair traded.

Pracaxi

ECOLOGY

This species is distributed throughout northern Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad, and some regions of Central America. The tree is medium in size (8–14 m), found in flooded areas, and shaped as a half-moon fruit pod, 20 to 25 cm long, containing 4 to 8 seeds. Approximately 35 fruits are needed to obtain one kilo of seeds, which contain approximately 30% oil. Seed germination takes 30 to 40 days and the germination rate is relatively high; the plants grow fast in floodplains. On terra firme, the plants tolerate selective pruning and are nitrogen-fixing pioneer species that show great potential for forest regeneration and restoration of degraded areas.

The inhabitants of the Amazon region use the bark of the stem to combat the effects of poison from snake and scorpion bites. The seeds for the oil are collected (along rivers, streams, and beaches), dried in the sun, and stored for selling. The oils is used by river people for hair, skin care and for its  insecticidal ability.
