Beauty is omnipresent in the world around us and a significant part of its charm lies in the incredible variety of plants and flowers, stunning rock formations, vibrant hues, alluring scents and unique sights.
If you travel a lot, you probably know this feeling. One of the most fascinating aspects of exploring a new country is the opportunity to experience nature in a way you’ve never experienced before.
Although I’ve never been to Brazil, I was completely fascinated when I happened to spot a picture of the Jabuticabeira tree. Curious to learn more? Read on!
For those who may not know it, the Jabuticabeira tree is native to Brazil and its appearance is truly impressive. What fascinates me most is the peculiar way this tree, also known as the Brazilian grape tree, bears its fruit. The deep purplish-black Jabuticaba fruit grows directly from the trunk, giving the impression that the tree is infested with strange alien creatures.
However, the jabuticaba fruit is not only edible, it is also said to offer numerous health benefits. It is said to have a positive effect on respiratory functions and help with problems such as diarrhea. In addition, it is said to open the bronchi, which can be helpful for conditions such as asthma.
In addition, the jabuticaba fruit is full of antioxidants that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The fruits of this remarkable tree, native to Brazil, can be eaten fresh or made into jellies, jams, juices or even wine. Have you ever come across this amazing fruit? I certainly haven’t!
