It has a complete protein that is high in tryptophan to help calm your nerves in stressful times. With plenty of minerals and vitamins, ramon seeds are a nourishing super food that can be enjoyed blended with other flours to boost the nutrients of baked goods and smoothies. Raw ramon seeds were a traditional food valued by native people throughout Central America. Growing to a height of 130 feet, ramon trees are an essential part of the upper canopy in rainforests. Known by a variety of local common names such as capomo, ojoche, masica, breadnut and Maya nut, the ramon tree was called the Òcorn treeÓ by the Maya who planted ramon trees in forests near their cities. Now wild harvested in Guatemala in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, this nutritious seed provides free food and a source of income for rural communities.
