Benefits of Aguaje
Aguaje, Latin Mauritia flexuosa, is also known as moriche palm, buriti, or ita palm. It's a palm tree growing in the swamp regions of the Amazon rainforest in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia known for its ability to adapt to extreme humidity. It grows up to 35 m and its wide, fan-shaped leaves can be up to 2 m long. They provide shade and serve as a shelter to a number of local fauna, contributing to the biodiversity of the Amazon eco-system. But more than that, it also carries cultural significance, as the fruit of this palm has been a part of the local tribes' customs for centuries. They consider them the fruit of life. Thanks to its incredible adaptability, it became an icon of the tropical wetlands of Amazon. The aguaje fruit has a high nutritional value and considered a superfood.
The fruit is small, oval, and usually measures around 4-5 cm. It's covered with tiny brown-red scales that hide soft, yellow flesh full of nutrients. Aguaje fruit is one of the main food sources of the locals, who value it for its taste and nutritional qualities. It's rich micro- as well as macroelements, vitamins, asnd phytoestrogens, making it a valuable supplement for women.
