The nutritious Licuri
Saving children from malnutrition and blue macaws from extinction
Licuri is a native palm tree very abundant in the caatinga region. It is the favorite food of the blue macaw and the greatest ally in combating malnutrition. It is highly energetic, rich in lipids (49.2%), proteins (11.5%) and Beta carotene (26%). 14 fruits provide half of the daily need of the daily need of 700 RAE (retinol). Each bunch comes with 1357 fruits, able to feed 100 kids!
Licuri becomes oil and milk, the nut can be used in breads, cookies and cakes.
