VALE MAIS QUE OURO: Frutas Nativas do SERTÃO que CURAM e Alimentam a Vida - NÃO É DESERTO EP 11

Subscribe 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@biomavivo/vi... The Sertão is not empty. It never has been. In this episode, Bioma Vivo reveals eight native fruits of the Caatinga that have fed indigenous peoples for millennia, that modern science is discovering as superfoods, and that the international industry wants to buy while Brazil has yet to learn to value them. From the cashew that left the Caatinga and conquered the world to the umbu that stores three thousand liters of water in its roots. From the mandacaru that feeds the entire biome in extreme drought to the passion fruit that treats anxiety with what laboratories took decades to confirm. This is not the Sertão you were taught to ignore. It is one of the richest and most ignored menus of our biodiversity. ───────────────────────────── FRUITS OF THE EPISODE ───────────────────────────── 🟡 Cashew — Anacardium occidentale 🌵 Mandacaru — Cereus jamacaru 🌿 Juazeiro — Ziziphus joazeiro 🟣 Passion fruit of the Caatinga — Passiflora cincinnata 🟢 Umbu — Spondias tuberosa 🌵 Xique-Xique — Pilosocereus gounellei ⚫ Quixaba — Sideroxylon obtusifolium 🌰 Xixá — Sterculia striata ───────────────────────────── SOURCES AND RESEARCH ───────────────────────────── ▸ UFC — Juazeiro leaf cuticle as a model for drought-resistant crops ▸ UFPB and UFC — Passiflora cincinnata as a natural anxiolytic ▸ UFPE — Antimicrobial activity of Quixabeira ───────────────────────────── CHAPTERS ───────────────────────────── 00:00 — Opening 01:30 — Cashew: the fruit that Brazil exported raw 03:30 — Mandacaru: the cactus that feeds the Sertão 05:30 — Juazeiro: the Tree that doesn't give up 07:00 — Caatinga Passion Fruit: the anxiolytic of the backlands 09:00 — Umbu: three thousand liters in the roots 11:00 — Xique-Xique: grows where nothing else grows 12:30 — Quixaba: the antibiotic that the backlands people already knew how to use 13:30 — Xixá: the fruit hidden in the spiny capsule 14:30 — Closing ───────────────────────────── SERIES IS NOT DESERT ───────────────────────────── ▸ Complete NOT A DESERT Series:    • As Alianças SECRETAS que Sustentam a CAATI...   ▸ Complete NOT A BUSH (Cerrado) Series:    • O ERRO QUE MATA: 7 Seres do Cerrado que Vo...   ───────────────────────────── ABOUT THE CHANNEL ───────────────────────────── THE Bioma Vivo is a channel of scientific documentaries about Brazilian biomes.
