It attempts to rescue plants, flavours and traditional uses that are being lost in modern times.
Some of the plant genus in which we are focussing are: Vasconcellea (mountain papayas; Caricaceae), Passiflora (passion fruits; Passifloraceae), Psidium (guavas; Myrtaceae), Inga (Fabaceae) .
We are continuously striving to increase our plant collection and ethnobotanical knowledge of fruit plants (see in projects).
