#Repost @slowfood_international with @appreposter Urucum is a fascinating plant used by native Amazonian people for its vivid red color and its special flavor. Since centuries, native tribes used it in food but also on their skins and hair for protection against insects. Urucum is recognized as an Ark of Taste product.
