The Palma de Moriche

#venezuela La Palma de Moriche is a palm that is abundant in the Orinoco Delta, (Mauritia Flexuosa), which is widely used for food, clothing, housing construction and various utensils.
It is a typical tropical palm, whose preferred habitat is the waterlogged banks of rivers and floodplains. Varies widely in size and shape of fruit. It has been used for decorative purposes, but requires appropriate hot and sunny environments with moist and marshy soils.
The aborigines of the Warao ethnic group, at the mouth of the Orinoco River, appreciate it with particular devotion and consider it the tree of life or of paradise, since from it they obtain bread (from the pulp of its trunks), liqueurs and caratos (from the trunks and fruits), thread (from the leaves), to weave chinchorros and make baskets and mats, harpoons for the fishing and tips for arrows (from the stalks of the leaves) and from the roots make medicines.
It is a palm that stands out for its versatility and beauty, I have identified a very beautiful area of Venezuela.

Super interesting, I didn't know about "La Palma de Moriche" palm tree. It's always amazing to read about trees that provide so many things at the same time: food, clothes, material for construction. Recently I heard the same about "bamboo" - very versatile gifts from nature.
