Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yerba Mate: The Tea of South America The term yerba mate, since it is used to denote the plant as well as the drink, may need some little explanation in order to avoid a con fusion of terms in the following sketch. The Guarani Indians, who first made known the plant and the use of its leaves tothe Spaniards in Paraguay and to the Portuguese in southern Brazil, call it cad - the plant - that is the plant that is unique among all others, the plant of all plants, so to speak. Oaa guazu, the more specific term, meant the big or splendid plant. The Spaniards, translating literally, called it yerba - the herb, The mate - Spanish for gourd - came to be used in connection with herba because it was in a dried gourd that the pulverized leaves were steeped in boiling water to prepare the drink. By habit the container began to imply the contents and yerba, the herb, and mate, the gourd, combined meant the gourd - herb, and became the name of the plant and then of the drink made therefrom.

Download or read book Chemistry and Safety of South American Yerba Mate Teas written by Candela Iommi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the traditional use of Ilex paraguariensis, a plant that is widely distributed in South America. Thanks to its purported properties, it has been used for centuries in the form of teas with a variety of names, including: ‘yerba mate’ (Argentina), ‘chimarrão’ (Brazil), and others. Ilex paraguariensis and its teas (also referred to as ‘mate teas’) are well known because of their alleged pharmacological effects in numerous common conditions, including obesity, osteoporosis, constipation, arthritis, and hypertension. These effects are generally ascribed to yerba mate teas because the botanical species contains bioactive and stimulating substances like caffeine (originally dubbed ‘mateine’), various alkaloids, and several phenolic acids. Interestingly, the chemical profiles of these teas can fluctuate over time, creating serious production problems. As a result, it is difficult to reliably determine their safety and health effects on humans. In response to the global interest in these products, this book offers a reference guide to ‘yerba mate’/‘chimarrão’ teas. It analyzes their chemical profiles, discusses their bioactive features, and addresses their safety and health effects. In addition, since the cultural heritage of yerba mate has greatly contributed to its international success, the book also provides information on its historical legacy, regulatory aspects, and the global market.
Download or read book Sharing Yerba Mate written by Rebekah E. Pite and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking yerba mate is a daily, communal ritual that has brought together South Americans for some five centuries. In lively prose and with vivid illustrations, Rebekah E. Pite explores how this Indigenous infusion, made from the naturally caffeinated leaves of a local holly tree, became one of the most distinctive and widely consumed beverages in the region. Latin American food and commodity studies have focused on consumption in the global north, but Pite tells the story of yerba mate in South America, illuminating dynamic and exploitative circuits of production, promotion, and consumption. Ideas about who should harvest and serve yerba mate, along with visions of the archetypical mate drinker, persisted and were transformed alongside the shifting politics of class, race, and gender. This global history takes us from the colonial Rio de la Plata to the top yerba-consuming and producing nations of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, with excursions to Chile, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, where yerba mate is now sold as a "superfood." For readers eager to understand South America and its unique drink, Sharing Yerba Mate is an essential text that delves into an everyday ritual to expose systems of power and the taste of belonging.
Download or read book The Political Ecology and Ecosystem Services in Yerba Mat Ilex Paraguariensis Agroforestry of the South America Atlantic Forest written by Branden John Beatty and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agroforestry offers a land-use management methodology that may provide solutions to environmental degradation in the tropics. However, practitioners of agroforestry are faced with the dilemma of clearing more forest cover in order to increase crop size and sustain their income. The aim of this study is to understand the agroforester's dilemma and to measure the value of the agroforestry ecosystem stewardship in yerba mate (Ilexparaguariensis A. St. Hil.) agroforestry parcels of the South American Atlantic forest eco-region. Biodiversity, carbon sequestration and vegetation cover were measured to be considerably higher in yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil.) agroforestry plantations than in neighboring monoculture crops. Agroforestry vegetation cover values were measured to have between 65-89% cover while monocultures had roughly 25%cover. Agroforestry stored carbon values ranged between 154.7-172.7 Mg C ha-1,compared to monoculture plantation values of 81.3 Mg C ha-1. Finally, as measured using the Shannon index, values of species richness ranged from 2.7-3.5 in agroforestry parcels and between 0.9-1.3 in monocultures, and values of evenness ranged between 0.6 and 0.8 in agroforestry parcels, and 0.2 in monocultures. These findings illustrate that yerba mate agroforestry can potentially contribute as a regional climate change mitigation strategy. Valuating and monetizing ecosystem services and engaging smaller farmers with worldwide ecosystem marketplaces offer the potential to expand the dialogue around payments for the valuable ecosystem services that agroforesters are providing. An analysis of market prices available within the ecosystem marketplace for total ecosystem services being conserved on agroforestry parcels amounted to a range in value between $16--$160 ha-1 yr-1. To address environmental degradation in the Atlantic Forest region, in South America, governments should motivate environmental conservation to support a shift towards sustainable yerba mate production which supports livelihoods of small-scale farmers, economic justice and environmental sustainability.

Download or read book Mycorrhizal Fungi in South America written by Mónica A. Lugo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to feed the world, global agriculture will have to double food production by 2050. As a result, the use of soils with fertilizers and pesticides in agronomic ecosystems will increase, taking into account the sustainability of these systems and also the provision of food security. Thus, soil ecosystems, their health, and their quality are directly involved in sustainable agronomical practices, and it is important to recognize the important role of soil microbial communities such as mycorrhizal fungi, their biodiversity, interactions, and functioning. Soil ecosystems are under the threat of biodiversity loss due to an increase of cultivated areas and agronomic exploitation intensity. Also, changes in land use alter the structure and function of ecosystems where biodiversity is vital in the ecosystem. Soils are a major aid in food production in all terrestrial ecosystems; however, this means they are also involved in gas emission and global warming. Thus, in agronomic ecosystems, several mitigation practices have been proposed to promote the increase of carbon soil stock, and the reduction of warming gas emission from soils. In South America, most of the rural population depends economically on agriculture and usually works in family units. New, organic, safe, and sustainable agro-forestry practices must be applied to support local communities and countries to achieve hunger eradication, rural poverty reduction, and sustainable development. This book compiles new information for mycorrhizal occurrence in natural and anthropic environments in South America. It includes new reports of mycorrhizal fungi diversity along different mycorrhizal types and their effect on plant communities, plant invasions, the use of mycorrhizal fungi for ecological and sustainable studies, management programs of natural and agroecosystems, and forestry and food-secure production. This book fills the gaps in biodiversity knowledge, management and safe food production of mycorrhizas. It should be a valuable help to researchers, professors and students, to aid in use of mycorrhizal fungi while also focusing on their biodiversity, sustainable safe food production, and conservation perspectives.
