We are looking for those seeds and/or plants that we would like to have in our tropical garden on the farm site.
Le fruit du jacquier (Artocarpus_heterophyllus)
The jackfruit fruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)Vitamins, potassium, iron, magnesium ... So many benefits for the body that know how to combine the pleasure of tasting the jacque,fruit made from jackfruit. An ultra food trend to adopt urgently for its health benefits.The jacque is the fruit that you will soon not be able to do without you. Made from jackfruit, a tree that grows in the tropics, jacque is rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber and is a source of energy. It brings as a bonus many benefits for the body and health. There are two varieties of jacque: those with tender, juicy and sweet flesh, and the firm flesh varieties, which are less juicy and less sweet. Their white or yellow flesh becomes darker when the fruit is ripe.Like banana, the jacque continues to ripen after it has been picked and its flavor remains the same.Consisting of different sugars such as fructose and glucose, it is nevertheless considered one of the most calorific fruits: 100g brings 95 calories, but makes him a good ally to stay energetic.Protect organs and prevent diseasesThe oxidation phenomenon can affect our body. This is the degradation of cells responsible for many diseaseslike cancers. The jacque acts on the harmful effect of free radicals on our body. Rich in antioxidants, it can preventing oxidation through vitamin C which helps protect the immune system. The phytonutrients it contains will prevent cancer, but also promote the success of treatment by eliminating the presence of cancer cells. These phytonutrients can help fight against ulcers.Rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, the fruits of jackfruit have a very rich composition. Among them we can note the presence of vitamin A which protects the vision as well as the skin, the vitamin B1, known to develop the nervous, muscular but also metabolic functions, vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, necessary in the use some elements to give energy and for muscle recovery. Vitamin B9 is beneficial for pregnant women by protecting the fetus from various malformations.Among the minerals to remember, the jacque is rich in magnesium, which improves heart health and reduces premenstrual disorders. Rich in iron and calcium, this fruit also helps maintain teeth and bones. Selenium has an important antioxidant effect that will ensure the proper functioning of the immune system and the thyroid gland. Rich in fiber and potassium. The jacque is a fruit certainly caloric, but also rehydrating. Rich in potassium, it helps regulate the body's hydration, stabilize blood circulation and heart rate. It protects cardiovascular health and avoids hypertension. Like most fruits, jackfruit fruit is high in fiber: 100 grams consumed would be equivalent to 11% of the recommended fiber intake per day. It then reduces the time of exposure to bacteria and other toxins that could irritate the colon. The presence of fiber helps reduce the assimilation of bad cholesterol and lower its concentration in the blood by constituting a kind of barrier to slow the assimilation of cholesterol and sugar.How to consume it: The jacque can be eaten as a vegetable when it is not ripe and as a fruit when it is ripe, raw or cooked according to preferences. Grated, cut into pieces, it can be added in fruit salads, mashed or jammed, or made into juice. It can also be cooked alone or with other foods such as vegetables or rice.In the producing countries, the jacque is canned, salted or sweet. The peel is often cooked and the seeds are boiled and used as vegetables. Be careful, the seeds must be properly cooked because raw they are toxic

ramboutan
Nephelium lappaceum Family: SapindaceaeGenre: NepheliumBinomial name: Nephelium lappaceum L., 1767Order: SapindalesRambutan, also called lychee hairy, is a tropical fruit of Asia from the tree of the same name Nephelium lappaceum. It belongs to the same family as lychees, longans and quenettes.The peel has quite long fibrous growths (rambutan comes from rambut, which means "hair" in Malay) and the pulp is often stuck to the core. Although some varieties are not juicy, they give off a sweet scent and their taste is similar to that of grapes.Nutritional contribution Rambutan plain or peeledIt contains several nutrients such as glucose, minerals and vitamin C.This fruit is eaten fresh, dried or canned.The core is also edible and can be consumed at the same time as the pulp or separately and sometimes grilled. He would be slightly narcotic.When the bark and the fibers are green, the fruit is not ripe.When the fibers are black, the fruit has probably passed the optimum stage of maturity.Culture The main world producers of rambutan are Thailand and Guyana. A tree takes five to six years to produce fruit. The tree reaches maturity at the age of eight and produces about 200 kg of fruit a year.These trees also produce medicinal drugs that, for example, can relieve headaches.cultivars In Thailand, two varieties are traditionally distinguished: one with red bark and green fibers (Ngo Rong-Riane variety), the most common on the markets; the other with yellow bark and red fibers (so-called Rose variety).Pollination Being aromatic, Rambutan flowers are very attractive to many insects, especially bees. Flies (Diptera), bees (Hymenoptera), and ants (Solenopsis) are the main pollinators. Among the diptera, lucilia are abundant, and among the hymenoptera, bees (Apis dorsata and Apis cerana) and meliponini are the main visitors.Colonies of A. Cerana foraging on rambutan flowers produce large amounts of honey. Bees that collect pollen and nectars from flowers regularly visit the stigmas of male flowers and collect large amounts of sticky pollen. Little pollen has been seen on the bees foraging the female flowers.Although male flowers open at 6 o'clock, foraging by A. cerana is more intense between 7 and 11 o'clock. In Thailand, A. cerana is the preferred species for small-scale pollination of rambutan. Its hairs are also useful in pollination where pollen can be hung and transported to female flowers.
