Oenocarpus distichus [1] is a species of palm, commonly occurring in the southeast of the Amazonia. [2] It is distinguished from the turu palm by the appearance of its opposite leaves. [3]
Uses
In Brazil, the palm has been used by indigenous people since ancient times. [4] [5] A thick wine is prepared with the kneaded mesocarp juice, highly appreciated locally. The pulp of the fruits contains 25% oil (10% of the weight of the whole fruit) and produces a light yellow oil. [6]
