The properties found in Amazonian fruits were first discovered by the people who live in the jungle—the indigenous communities—and it is from them that we learned of their value so we could share it with the rest of humanity.

That’s why we’re going to tell you about the uses and importance of these fruits in the native communities of the Amazon

Açaí: This fruit represents the possibility of life, as its very existence ensures the survival of a community (link to article). Açaí can be turned into wine, sweets, and even a purée, allowing many families to live with açaí as a staple of their diet.

Camu Camu: For many communities, this fruit is the secret to staying healthy and healing cuts caused by branches on the skin more quickly. The reason is simple: the explosive amount of vitamin C strengthens the immune system of those who eat it, accelerating healing and preventing respiratory illnesses.

Copoazú: This fruit is renowned as a natural energy booster. And it’s a well-deserved reputation, as communities use it for this purpose after turning it into a paste or a drink.
