Marula known also as Umganu, Mupfura, Tsua, Morula, Mng’ ongo, Mafula, Nkula and Ol-mangwai is a popular African tree distributed across many African countries. The leaves, stem bark, root and fruit are used extensively in food and traditional medicine.

Very intresting, in Namibia marula tree is called omwoongo, once the fruit is ripe it turns from green to yellow that's when we extract marula juice both alcoholic and non alcoholic, oil. Keep up the good work , we are learning a lot.
Hi,
The tree bark is also used as traditional medicine for people with loss of body weight. U mix it with tea or porridge.
My grand father used to make umnkumbi.

Thanks for sharing your video. We used to make a drink called "umkumbi" from the juice extracted from the fruits/amaganu and this is good for wood carvings such as wooden plates and traditional chairs/stools.
This is so interesting. Excellent content brother.
Educational content! Thank you.
I love this..thanks Mahlangu
Very informative. Thank you.
Great content!
Just to add that the fruits are also detoxifying when eaten also we used to make a drink which can make ppl drunk-animals also like the fruits of it and they get really drunk as well, thankyou very much for reminding us.and goats eat the whole fruit then when they poop we would take the marula seed and crush it to get the nut ,very tasty !

I wish you made a close range shot of the leaves of this tree because we've got a young tree with such a bark and small leaves but I can't be sure it's this one. I hope it is, because it will not find rest now.

That guy looks like " Tu pack". Reloaded 2.0. Look at him frontal camera and compare for yourselves with old photos and videos from the famous USA rapper. Black African DNA never dies.

Weldone ,Prince

Africa is blessed indeed

Thanks for watching Winnet.
Ah Ah Magriza! Wangikumbuza ukupoziswa ngu Gogo wam' maayee!!! Hiyo intolwane hini? Hectic 🤣🤣🤣🥰
🤣🤣 hectic but necessary Kaya's Gogo. Yes intolwane does the same job also.
presented like a true herbalist/gedla/ngaka tshupe
ashe also used as snuff in SA limpompo
We used to ""ukuganda inkelo ""and eat the nut in the seed..
❤️
Interesting what you say about talking to the tree to show it respect before harvesting from it. Some tribes do the same with the acacia tree when extracting boswellia or gum arabic I think. I am learning more from you than I ever learned at school here in Zimbabwe.
Well said!
👌🏾
This tree reminds me of our monthly cleansing growing up (ukuphozisa) hey i tremble just thinking of those days 😏😂🤣🤣
🙏🙏😌
So this tree and Ntolwane can be used interchangeable phela, seeing that what u have said also applies to intolwane
Yes especially on stomach and back uses.
🤝🏿🙏🏾
🙏🙏
Shalom. Is there any one who sales this herb internationally? I enjoy studying about and incorporating indigenous foods from Africa into my diet.
Yes. Let's communicate via our social media platforms. @MagrizaMadeMeCook
Very informative sir.
I wonder if the marula tree is found in Mashonaland West/Banket area..I want to start using for health purposes
Not sure with your area but it's called mupfura in shona
@@marytaruvinga1649 Thanks Mary. My mom is ndebele so I know the plant from Matebeleland but never seen it in Manicaland where my dad is from. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but I have never seen it there. Neither Trelawney/Blanket area. But I'll ask about mupfura
God bless
In Ndau we call them Maganu

I remember eating porridge with marula powder, the taste 😣lol but it’s great for our stomach. Is there a website to buy this marula powder?
Website hasn't yet been launched on the products and herbs but hopefully next year
@em-mzee It is called marula,, not amarula. Amarula is an alcoholic beverage made from the fruits.

6:45 another example why an african can not be an 'atheist', only in Abrahamic religions where God is in the sky,,,,
in African thought, from Ancient Egypt to now, God is Nature itself ,,,,,

Another awesome episode. We always learn so much from every installment. Please continue the good work! I'm reminded of this short clip from from the film "Animals are beautiful people", where all the animals in the bush get drunk from consuming too much of the marula fruit.
