licuri

Known as the sertaneja palm, the licuri (scientific name: syagrus coronata) is also called alicuri, aricuí, adicuri, bighead, coconut-aracuri, coconut-dicuri, iricuri, oricuri, uricuri, uricuri and uricuriba.

The palm tree can reach 11 meters in height, its leaves in a row seem to form a crown. The species can be found in the north of Minas Gerais, in the eastern and central portion of Bahia to the south of Pernambuco and also in the states of Sergipe and Alagoas.

The bunches of licuri have an average of 1,350 fruits, which measure approximately two centimeters. While green, the fruits have a watery texture inside, which hardens in the ripening process, giving rise to almonds. Color varies from pale yellow to orange.

Everything takes advantage of the licuri. The leaves are used in the artisanal manufacture of bags, hats, brooms, dusters, among others. The almond produces an oil used in cooking, similar to coconut oil, and is also considered the best oil in the country for the manufacture of soap. Almonds are also used in the manufacture of sweets, such as Cocada, liqueurs and licuri milk, a specialty of Bahian cuisine. The residues from the extraction of almond oil are used in animal feed.

It is also important to note that licuri is one of the main foods of the Lear's Macaw, being considered essential for the survival of this animal, endemic to the Brazilian Caatinga and threatened with extinction.
