Borojoa has been moved to Alibertia, “borojó” is now Alibertia patinoi. Victor Manuel Patiño was a famous Colombian botanist who worked in the Chocó area of West Coast Colombia, where borojó is native, it is not from the Amazon. “boro” means head, “jo” is tree, ‘tree of heads’ referring to the shrunken head trophies of the local tribes. It is dioecious but females can fruit alone. Males begin to flower before females, hence when they begin to flower one gets males, females later. Protein content is low, phosphorus is one of the highest of any fruit. it has a considerable reputation in Colombia and Ecuador as a tonic, panacea, and aphrodisiac. in the 1970’s, before internet and social media, in a very few years it went from a fruit known only in the isolated Chocó area, to one of the most popular in Colombia because of that reputation.
