Did you know? The cacay tree is renowned for its multifaceted utility, earning the moniker "The Vegetable Cow" among certain communities. Every part of the tree is harnessed, from the husk for animal feed or compost to the shell for slow-burning biofuel. The nutrient-rich nut, often called a "super nut," boasts a wealth of proteins, minerals, omegas, and fibre.

The oil extracted from the cacay nuts (surpassing even olive oil in its properties) finds purpose across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry. The flour emerges as a high-protein, fibre-rich source of nutrition, while the tree's nectar becomes a unique, delectable honey thanks to local bees. Nut milk prepared from the flour serves not only as an animal milk substitute but also contributes to functional beverages.

This remarkable versatility aligns with the cacay tree's capacity to bring tangible economic and nutritional value to local communities, fostering sustainable practices and holistic benefits.
