Wildlife Pure nature – in the African savannah

Tense and let go – Wildlife pure nature

Yes, that’s how it is, you need both in life 🙂

Wildlife pure nature – Even with minimal rainfall, the female Marula tree produces a considerable harvest of golden yellow fruits approx. 3 to 4 cm in size, which can be harvested wild and processed into Amarula liqueur or eaten directly as fruit.

Under a removable, relatively thick skin there is a thin layer of pulp that is stuck directly to the large stone.

The pulp has a sour, refreshing taste (although “eating” is more like “sucking” because the thin pulp sits very firmly on the stone).

The fruits perish quickly because they ferment very quickly. They are said to have aphrodisiac effects.

The stone of the marula fruit contains an edible seed that is considered a regional delicacy and whose oil can be used for cosmetic purposes.

The ground bark of the tree is eaten by pregnant women of the Venda people in South Africa to determine the gender of the expectant Child to influence.
