ORIGIN OF THE ALGARROBO

Algarrobo is a characteristic tree of the northern area of Peru, its name comes from the time of the conquest of the Spanish who, seeing the similarity with the Mediterranean Algarrobo (Ceratonia siliqua), called it in a similar way. The scientific names of the species in the area are Prosopis pallida and Prosopis juliflora. Algarrobo are long-lived trees, which have a complex root system that allows them to absorb water at different depths as well as lateral roots that capture rain very easily; this is one of the main characteristics that makes them capable of surviving in extreme drought conditions, appreciable in the dry forests of the region where they constitute excellent species for dune control and counteract desertification.

From Algarrobo, you can take advantage of the wood (heavy and highly durable) and its fruit (legume), which are pods with a high sugar content, commonly called carob, which is used mainly as fodder for cattle; It is also used for human consumption in derived products such as algarrobina Algarrobo is a fruit in a pod, elongated, when it is ripe it is yellow in color with high nutritional power and when it is stored for more than three months it takes on a dark yellow color, without losing its nutritional properties, it contains: Proteins B2, B6, they are rich in iron, due to the immense depths that their roots reach, which are estimated to reach more than 50 meters deep, absorbing minerals rich in iron, they contain carbohydrates that make them an energy product.

TRADITIONAL USE OF ALGARROBO

It has been cited in Peru with various medicinal uses, such as the juice is used as a purgative, for stomach aches, chills, dysentery, excrescences, eyes, flu, headache, hoarseness, inflammation, itching, measles, throat, and wounds; Lewis (1977). The aqueous and alcoholic extracts are remarkably antibacterial. University of Arizona (1972). The pods were used by the indigenous people of northern Peru to make bread, and this use is affirmed by pointing out the high nutritional value of the bread made from the dried and ground pods. In Peru, a concentrated infusion of Algarrobo pods is used in the preparation of a drink called “algarrobina”, and as a sweet syrup in fruit juices due to its high sugar content; NAS(1979). The nutritional value and digestibility of the ground pods are comparable to that of alfalfa, however they need to be processed.
