Extraordinary uses for guamúchil
Abstract
Guamúchil (Pithecellobium dulce), is a tree legume, appreciated for its many uses, as well as being rustic and with high growth capacity, it is distributed throughout Mexico; which allows it to be used as a live fence, forage, land boundary, timber resource, medicinal plant, in addition to the fact that its fruit is used in Mexican gastronomy; for this reason, Pithecellobium dulce is considered to be a little-known and minimally exploited resource, so this research aims to publicize the potential uses of guamúchil.
