Capomo

/kɑːˈpoʊmoʊ/ noun

Definition

A tropical American tree (Brosimum alicastrum) that produces edible nuts and seeds used by indigenous peoples as food.

Etymology

From Spanish/Portuguese 'capomo' or Nahuatl origin, a plant name from Mesoamerica where the tree is native and cultivated.

Kelly Says

Capomo trees can feed a family through dry seasons since they're nitrogen-fixing (naturally fertilize soil) and keep producing nuts for decades without much care—ancient sustainability.
