Monkey Pot

The Monkey Pot originates from the Lecythis elliptica, a large nut-producing tree found in the Amazonian forests. This species is closely related to the tree that produces the Ourico Pods!

The term “Monkey Pot” is said to derive from a monkey baiting technique where the empty nut is filled with fruit; a monkey would be able to insert its paw but unable to remove it.
