description | This article discusses the use of the juçara (Euterpe edulis Mart.), a native plant of the Atlantic Forest abundant in the region of Guaraqueçaba, in the north coast of state of Paraná, Brazil. In this region the palm tree originally known as jiçara is important both for environmental preservation and for material survival of different traditional communities, especially the rural ones. By means of orality, life history, and participant observation it was possible to know many possibilities of using jiçara, including the practice of artisanal pulping performed by local residents. The main results point out a dual efficiency of the fruit used both for human consumption with juices and products of pulp as well as for the process of germination of seeds that are returned to the ground after the practice of pulping and therefore promoting social and environmental resilience. |
