The Brazilian Cerrado is one of the five great biomes in Brazil and the second largest plant
formation in the country. It covers about 25% of the national territory, being considered one of
the regions with the greatest biodiversity and endemism in the world. It is estimated that the
Cerrado has more than 6 thousand species of trees and one of the most important NTFPs
(Non-Timber Forest Products) in the Cerrado: the pequi (Caryocar sp.) of the Cariocarácea
family, is considered of high culinary value and helps in cooking income generation for many
families. (OLIVEIRA & DUARTE, 2004). Although it has a high economic, environmental
and social value, there is still a demand for more knowledge and consequent appreciation of
this fruit by the Brazilian population, mainly due to the vast benefits for health and the need to
raise awareness for preservation. This study aimed to discuss and perform a bibliographical
analysis on pequi (Caryocar sp.) a non-timber forest product native to the Brazilian Cerrado.
The methodology used for the construction of the work was a narrative bibliographic
research, with information collected from a literature survey of 39 documents/publications as
reference. Thus, pequi is an extremely important fruit for the population, the local economy
and the environment |
