Description
John from http://www.okraw.com travels to his tropical farm property in Puerto Rico alongside wellness educator Kaelash Neels to shatter the ultimate plant-based myth and reveal the single highest protein fruit in the entire world—a wild, tree-picked legume that delivers almost as much protein as eggs.
In this immersive episode, you’ll discover the shocking nutritional power of Jatobá (also known as the tropical carob or stinky toe fruit), which packs an unbelievable 11 grams of protein per 100 grams of fruit flesh. Alongside this heavyweight, John and Kaelash harvest and taste-test the giant tropical Inca Bean (also known as the Ice Cream Bean or Inga edulis), showcasing how these unique, nitrogen-fixing leguminous tree fruits are completely changing the game for raw vegan protein, muscle retention, and plant-based fitness.
Learn the incredible health benefits packed inside these rare crops—including how the tropical carob provides a massive dose of Resistant Starch Type 2 (RS2) to feed the microbiome and stimulate butyrate production, a critical nutrient that most raw foodists are severely lacking. You'll also see the live harvest of the Muntingia calabura, famously known as the Jamaican Cherry or "Captain Crunch Fruit," which explodes like pure nectar in your mouth and acts as an anti-aging, collagen-boosting powerhouse loaded with Vitamin E and over 100mg of Vitamin C.
This episode also reveals the ultimate step-by-step tricks for tropical homesteading—from using a simple knife technique to split open a massive, fluffy Inca Bean to cracking the concrete shell of the Jatobá. You'll learn why you must never throw away rare fruit seeds, how to utilize them in a sustainable nursery to grow your own food forest, and how to diversify your raw living food diet to protect yourself from common nutritional deficiencies.
As a bonus for the OKRAW audience, Kaelash is welcoming visitors to his newly upgraded tropical estate, deck, and nursery in Puerto Rico! You can reach out directly via email to ask questions, secure rare seeds, or coordinate your next tropical stay.
