ECOLOGY

Bacaba is a beautiful tall palm that prefers dry land, it gives bunches of small green fruit that can be eaten in bowls like açaí. The word “bacaba” or “abacaba” has Tupi-Guarani origins and means “oily fruit”. 

*The Amazonian butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and ribeirinho people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements.

When we consume Amazonia's sustainable, non-timber-products, we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.

Rainforest Chica's products are wild harvested or ethically farmed. With constant focus on sustainability and fair treatment of harvester, farmers, transporters and producers.
