A staple of the Maya known as ramón, it is roasted and ground into a coffee-like drink or flour. The tree's deep drought tolerance made it an insurance crop in years of famine.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
