You might not think
about it when you drink
a cup of tea or
coffee, but it originates
from the rainforest!
At least 3.000 fruits, several
nuts and other foods are
originally from the rainforests
around the world.
Yams, coconuts, macadamia
nuts, papaya, mango, sweet
potato, oranges, cinnamon,
vanilla, passions fruit, peanuts,
rice, sugar cane, avocados,
grapefruit, lemons and limes all
originally came from tropical
rainforest.
Further fruits deriving from the rainforest: Pineapple, cocoa which we use for chocolate, figs, pepper, bananas, ginger, cayenne pepper, cashew nuts, - just to mention a few!
