"Nucifera: The Sacred Bean of American Samoa's Copra Production" In the picturesque islands of American Samoa, specifically in Pago Pago, a fascinating process unfolds - the production of copra from the resilient nucifera tree. Also known as the Indian lotus or sacred bean, Nelumbo nucifera holds immense cultural significance and plays a vital role in this tropical paradise. DDE-90038921, DDE-90025509, DDE-90024114, DDE-90024113, DDE-90024112, DDE-90024111. . These codes represent the tireless efforts put into cultivating and harvesting this remarkable plant. Generations have dedicated their lives to perfecting its growth techniques and maximizing its potential. As you stroll through lush plantations adorned with Bourbon palms like Livistona chinensis swaying gracefully in the gentle breeze, your senses are awakened by nature's symphony. Amidst this harmonious setting thrives Nelumbo nucifera - an emblematic symbol of resilience and beauty. The crimson seedcracker bird Pyrenestes sanguineus sanguineus finds solace among these abundant trees. Its vibrant plumage blends seamlessly with the vivid blossoms that adorn each lotus flower. This enchanting sight is truly a testament to Mother Nature's artistry. But it is not just for aesthetic pleasure that Nelumbo nucifera is cherished here; it serves as a cornerstone for American Samoa's economy too. The production of copra derived from its seeds has been pivotal in sustaining livelihoods throughout generations. From handpicking mature pods to meticulously extracting their precious contents within each Indian lotus fruit - every step requires skillful hands and unwavering dedication. Once extracted, these seeds undergo meticulous processing methods before transforming into high-quality copra oil used worldwide. Nelumbo nucifera embodies more than just economic value.
