Araucaria araucana
Arbre sacré des Andes dont les grandes graines sont l'aliment de base traditionnel du peuple Mapuche ; nutritif et médicinal.
Araucaria araucana, commonly known as the monkey puzzle tree, is a conifer native to the Andes. Its large seeds have been a traditional staple food for the Mapuche people, providing starch, protein, and fatty acids. Modern research indicates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, primarily attributed to flavonoids and other phenolic compounds. Evidence is limited (C) but supports its use as a nutritive food and potential adjunct in oxidative stress-related conditions.
The seeds contain high levels of starch (approx. 70%), protein (10-15%), and unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and oleic acids). Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol derivatives contribute to antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions. Anti-inflammatory effects may involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, as well as modulation of NF-κB signaling. The nutrient density supports general health and energy metabolism.
