Elaeis Guineensis

Elaeis Guineensis
Jacq.
Oil Palm (E); Palma african (P); Uruta (Ch). The hard, scarcely edible fruits are a good source of oil, which is used in Darien for cooking and hair dressings. Elsewhere, after the oil is extracted, the dried fibers are used for tinder and the fruit stalks are used for brooms. Tinder is also made from the fluff at the leaf base. The cabbages are eaten raw or cooked. Wine is made from the sap. Felled trees are attacked by edible "palm worms" (beetle larvae of the genus Rhynchophorus). The cabbage is used for menorrhagia and gonorrhea. The pulverized roots are used to treat headaches and are chewed as an aphrodisiac.
