What food is produced in this biome? How is the food produced?
The forest foods regularly save our global food supply by offering new, disease-resistant crops. The world has only sampled a tiny fraction of the potential foods that tropical forests offer. An astounding number of fruits and vegetables are produced there (bananas, citrus, cassava, avocado), nuts (cashews, brazil nuts), drinks (coffee, tea), oils (palm, coconut), flavourings (cocoa, vanilla, sugar, spices) and other foods originated in and around the rainforest.
