Mauritia flexuosa (Mauritia flexuosa)

The Mauritia flexuosa, also known as aguaje, buriti or pasachal, is a tropical palm native to South America. It can grow up to 35 metres high and its large leaves can be over three metres long. It has larger, yellow-orange fruits that are rich in vitamins and minerals. The fruits are popular with locals for their specific taste and high nutrient content. The palm also plays an important role in the ecosystem, providing shelter and food for many species of birds and mammals.

The fruits of the mauricia overhanging are used to produce various food products such as juice, oil, jam or alcohol. The wood is used to make furniture, building materials and decorations. The leaves of the palm tree are used as building material for roofing or for making mats, baskets and other handicrafts. Mauricie oil is also often used in the cosmetics industry, where it is known for its moisturising and regenerative properties. The heat-treated kernel of the seed is consumed in a similar way to coconut and is used as a raw material for flour production. The residue from oil production is then used in large quantities as animal feed.
