Guarana – mysterious fruit from South America

Paulinia guarana, because this is the Latin name of the plant, is a vine native to South America. Guarana to this day plays a very important role in the Guarani culture - it was even named after this tribe. What is interesting, these people were the first to drink yerba mate and guarana infusions! It has got long, intensively green and ribbed leaves, and in the flowering period, it has got dense clusters of little white flowers. Their smell is intense yet pleasant. The most valuable parts of the plants are intensively red fruits with big black seeds inside. When they are ripe, the fruits open - it is said that they look like open eyes. There is a legend connected to this. Guarani tribe believes that the deity killed one of the children in their village and when everyone was grieving, the deity plucked one of the child’s eyes and planted it in the village. It is reported that after some time guarana grew up in that place.
