        Some parts of the tropical almond tree, the leaves, its fruit and its roots are used for healing some diseases. Its fruit are eaten when they are ripe. Furthermore, we cook the fruit when it is still green. We cut it open and then put into a pot, then we wait until it boils and then lift it from the fire so that it cools down properly. Then we get a coconut palm strainer, strain the liquid and purify the riiroo liquid. Then we pour it into a container where it is stored for later use.
