The juicy fruits of marula similar to plums are tasty and rich in vitamins, and fatty healing oil was squeezed out of fruit seeds (usually 2-3 per fruit). Sometimes the marula is also called the "elephant tree", because elephants are happy to eat its leaves and fruits. A decoction of the peel of the fruit became a tonic drink, strongly reminiscent of coffee, and the leaves were used to prepare infusions for heartburn. A decoction of marula bark is suitable for the treatment of diarrhea and the prevention of malaria.
