L.f. Vitamin A Aguaje is the
edible fruit that contains the highest concentration of beta-carotene (Vitamin A). Compared to the carrot and spinach
(both known for having high Vitamin A content) the aguaje fruit contains five
times more. The Aguaje fruit´s
high Vitamin A content makes it an unparalleled dietary source for children and
pregnant women since it helps form and maintain healthy teeth, soft tissues
and bones, mucous membranes, and skin. This vitamin promotes good eyesight,
specially in low light environments, and it is also necessary during
reproduction and breast feeding.

The Aguaje palm tree (Mauritia flexuosa L.f), also
called buriti in Brazil and moriche in Colombia and Venezuela, was the first
Amazonian palm tree described by science in 1781. Today, it is considered to
be the promissory plant that could improve the quality of life for the men
and women living in the Amazon. The Tree of Life If you were going
to choose a palm tree to represent the Amazon Rainforest, it would definitely
have to be the Aguaje. In Amazonian cities like Iquitos, where the people eat
approximately twenty tons of this fruit per day, the women who sell this
fruit, called “aguajeras”, have turned into an important part of the local
economy. Aguaje is a multiple use species since its leaves, inflorescence,
fruit bunches, seeds, and even its roots are used by local populations.
Parrots colonize the dead trees in order to build their nests, and it is food
for the delicious American palm weevil. And if all that were
not enough, its fruit pulp is one of the most nutritious tropical foods (its
Vitamin A content is five times higher that of the carrot). Besides all the
benefits it possesses, its environmental services are even more overwhelming.
Aguaje is a large storehouse of carbon, which is why its role in lessening
the world´s climatic change is of great importance. It stores more than 600
tons of carbon dioxide per hectare, witch is three to five times more
important than any other tropical ecosystem. Additionally, it is very
important in the foundation of the tropical food chain. This valuable
specie can be considered the most ecologically, economically, and socially
important palm tree of the Amazon Rainforest, which is why, two centuries
ago, the explorer Alexander Von Humbolt, rightly called it the tree of life. |
