The cultivation and harvesting of the Cacay nuts are helping to improve the lives of low-income families in the Amazon Regions of South America. Families are gathering the nuts which have fallen from trees or planting their own trees to harvest and sell the nuts. While at present this is only a small supplement to their income as the popularity of this oil increases so will their income. After the oil has been extracted from the Cacay nut the nutrient-rich meat is ground into flour, the inner peel is added to cattle feed or used as a fertilizer and the outer shell burns extremely hot so is ideal for heating purposes where very high temperatures are needed.
