Rah- Rah Ramón! It makes me wanna stand up and shout…what else can I say?

My name is Collin Motschke and I’m a Master’s student in the Natural Resource Science and Management program at the University of Minnesota. I started learning about the so-called Mayan Miracle Nut about six months ago. Now, I’m hooked; one could say I’m an all-out nut for this tree seed. I’ve never heard of a non-timber forest product with so much untapped potential. It’s naturally occurring, abundant, nutritious, climate-adapted, and key to the livelihoods of our Guatemalan partners protecting the rainforests of the Mayan Biosphere Reserve.

Come and help us tap the literal and proverbial keg of the Ramón Nut! See you at Urban Growler Brewing CompanyGrowler Brewing Company on March 16th!

The Guacamaya (Scarlet Macaw) is one of the great wonders of the Maya Biosphere Reserve. Many years ago, I was lucky to tag along on a nest check, an experience that forever changed my relationship to the MBR. (PS - the birds were alive, despite how it may look!) -dw

Hello! My name is Tyler Vogel and I am the graduate student assistant for the Ramon Nut Brewing Awareness Project here with Dave and Dean. Very excited to be a part of this exciting new way of connecting both people and nuts across the globe. The Ramon nut or Maya nut is incredibly versatile. The outer hull fruit has a taste similar to that of mango. And the nut when dried as a unique twist of chocolate and coffee character (just perfect to complement a dark beer!) I will be working in Belize this summer and am excited to learn more on the Maya nut while there. Stay tuned for more updates on our project and the Ramon nut!

Guess what the Maya called the Ramón tree? The “corn tree", because the Maya used a flour made from the seed of the Ramón tree just like corn flour. They either blended the two together or ate the Ramón seed flour alone as a survival food. They also roasted them to make a coffee-like beverage which pregnant women drank.They probably understood that Ramón seeds are nutrient-dense. They’re rich in potassium, fiber, minerals and protein so they boost the nutrition of corn flour. - Caroline and Galen MacDougall, Teeccino

The most prevalent upper-canopy tree in Central American rainforests is called the Ramón tree, Brosimum alicastrum. Why are Ramón trees so abundant? The Maya planted Ramón trees near their cities because they ate the seed of its fruit as a flour mixed with corn flour. Plus they roasted them to brew a coffee-like beverage. Ramón trees are the only wind-pollinated tree in Central American rainforests so they repopulate deforested areas. If you are looking at a buried Mayan building, you’re likely to see Ramón trees growing on top of the mound because the wind brought them there! - Caroline and Galen MacDougall, Teeccino
