More about Murure (Brosimum Acutifolium)

Shredded bark of Tamamuri, Morure or Murure. Wild harvested in the tropical rainforest, area Pucallpa, Ucayali, Peru. No pesticides or fertilizers used.

Murure (Brosimum acutifolium), of the genus Moraceae (Mulberry family), is a large canopy tree of the Amazon rainforest that grows 15 to 25 meters high. It produces a white to light pink latex when the smooth trunk bark is wounded or the leaf stems are broken from the branches. It has oblong veined leaves about 8-15 cm long by 4-5 cm wide. Brosimum acutifolium is native throughout the lower elevations of the Amazon basin, usually growing alongside streams and rivers. Fish eat its fruits (similar to a fig but with one large seed inside) when they fall from the tree.
