Asakiyume

Let me introduce you to a great fruit of the Amazon known in Colombian Spanish as copoazú (Theobroma grandiflorum). These pictures come from Fundación Omacha's Twitter feed. (Alas, many orgs still are only there) It's related to cacao (Theobroma cacao), which gives us chocolate. (As the third picture says, you can also get chocolate from copoazú)

The photo shows two of the large copoazú fruits, still attached to the tree, and the large leaves of the tree. Text says “Copazú” and “Theobroma grandiflorum” In small print it says the photo is copyright Pablo Ramos for Fundación Omacha, and it has the logo of the org.
The beautiful and complicated yellow-orange and crimson flower of copoazú, attached to a tree branch with a green mottled background. Text in Spanish says “Flor fecundada de copoazú”—the fertilized flower of copoazú—and “Sus flores son polinizadas por distintas especies de mosca y su néctar es aprovechado por sbejas, abejorros y hormigas”—Its flowers are pollinated by different species of fly, and bees, bumblebees, and ants take advantage of its nectar.
Another shot of the copoazú fruit hanging from the tree, with a leafy golden green backround. A cup of brown powder is next to the fruit. The main text says “Su fruto present de 20 a 50 semillas, aporta un alto porcentaje nutricional y es usado en la preparación de diversos alimentos y cosméticos”--Its fruit has 20 to 50 seeds that have a high nutritional value and are used in the preparation of diverse foods and cosmetics. Text pointing at the fruit says “Usado en la medicina traditional para prevenir la aparición de tumores y cardiopatías.”—used in traditional medicine to prevent tumors and heart disease. Text pointing at the cup says “Se puede obtener chocolate a partir de sus semillas”--Chocolate can be obtained from its seeds.
A big copoazú leaf in a person’s hand, against a background of the bark of a tree. The main text says “Presenta una aplia distribución en la region amazónica, su cultivo se realiza en tierras no inundables y con buen drenaje.”—It’s widely distributed in the Amazon region and can be cultivated on land that doesn’t flood and that has good drainage. Text pointing to the leaf says “Con las hojas se realizan vaporizations para tartar enfermedades respiratorias.”—the leaves are used for steam treatments for respiratory ailments.
