So, what is jelly palm fruit?
Jelly palm fruit, also known as "butia fruit," is a tropical fruit native to South America. It is about the size of a small orange and has a bright orange, soft, and juicy flesh with a flavor similar to apricot or peach. The fruit is highly nutritious, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It is often used to make juices, jellies, and ice creams, and its oil is also used in cosmetic products. The jelly palm tree, which produces this delicious fruit, is highly valued for its ecological, cultural, and economic importance in the region.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
