Sclerocarya birrea

Sclerocarya birrea, better known as Marula, is an evergreen tree native to southern Africa. Highly prized for its fruit and wood, the Marula is an important element of the regional ecosystem and local culture. Few trees in Africa provide such a wide range of uses as the Marula. In particular, it plays a major role in the food industry, where its ripe fruit is used in the production of various products including the refreshing drink Amarula.

Marula has not only flavour but also nutritional qualities. The fruit contains four times more vitamin C than oranges and is therefore also used in the cosmetics industry. The fruit is pressed for its oil, which is popular for its moisturizing and regenerative properties. This oil is a key ingredient in many skin and hair care products. The wood of the tree is durable and lightweight, which makes it useful in carving and furniture making. Also unique is the use of the fermented Marula fruit in the production of a traditional African alcoholic drink that is part of local ceremonies and rituals.
