Features & Benefits

Product Background

The Mauritia Flexuosa grows in wet, tropical weather in the Amazon rainforest area of South America. It can reach up to 35 meters in height. It prefers swampy ecosystems, where it grows in large groups of palm trees called “aguajales”. Recent studies have proved that aguaje palm trees have a larger capacity of C02 absorption than other plants. Considering this fact, it is very important to protect these delicate ecosystems from deforestation and pollution.
