PRIME TELFA / OYSTERNUT
The “Oysternuts”, also known as “oil vine” is a liana of around 30 metres long that climbs up around trees and grows perfectly in the agroforests of our farmers in the Central East and East of Uganda.
The crop is a climate resistant plant that does not need extra land, fertilisers, pesticides or intensive labour. The seeds have a tough shell (like an oyster) and the seeds grow in pots.
Fiber Foods believe the crop has the potential to be an exciting ingredient on the food and cosmetics market due to its chemical composition, being a source of protein, vitamin E, and healthy fats.
