Sustainability Sunday (not sure if this is a 'thing' yet but it should be!). 🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's always interesting to see what our ingredients look like in their natural form, so here is the Cacay tree 🌳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cacay oil is a very sustainable oil, because all parts of the cacay nut can be used with almost zero waste. The peel can be composted, the shell is an excellent biofuel, and once the oil is extracted from the nut, the remaining meal, which is 40% protein and contains all the essential amino acids, can be used to make milk or as a food supplement. Because of its multiple uses, some communities have named the tree “The Vegetable Cow” 🐮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
