Morete
Scientific name:
Mauritia flexuosa
For centuries, morete has been an important food source for Amazonian communities. Today, this traditional fruit represents an opportunity to generate sustainable incomes through the responsible use of biodiversity.
Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and natural oils, morete is used to produce beverages, jams, ice creams, oils, and products with potential in the food and cosmetics industries.
Alongside communities, ALIADOS promotes harvesting practices that avoid cutting down palms and help maintain productive forests. This approach demonstrates that conservation can become a source of opportunity for families and support the sustainable development of their territories.
