Terminalia catappa, commonly known as Kaathe Badaam, काठे बदाम, सानो
हेजलनट, Small
Hejalnut, or Tropical Almond, is a large, deciduous tree belonging to the
Combretaceae family. It's renowned for its distinctive pagoda-like canopy and
broad, glossy leaves that turn vibrant red before shedding. Native to Malaysia,
this tree has spread across tropical regions worldwide, including Nepal, where
it's found at elevations between 1,600 and 3,000 meters. It's particularly
suited to acidic and alkaline soils and thrives in areas prone to frost. In
Nepal, new saplings are typically planted during the winter months of Poush and
Magh (December to February).
Availability in Nepal and Other Countries
In Nepal, Kaathe Badaam is cultivated in mid-hill regions,
flourishing in the specified altitudinal range. Its adaptability to various
soil types makes it a favorable choice for local farmers. Beyond Nepal,
Terminalia catappa is prevalent in countries like India, the Philippines,
Malaysia, Indonesia, and various Pacific islands. Its global distribution is
attributed to its resilience and the multiple benefits it offers, leading to
its widespread cultivation in tropical and subtropical regions
Physical Properties
The tree typically grows between 15 to 20 meters tall,
featuring a thick trunk with smooth, gray bark marked by longitudinal fissures.
Its branches extend horizontally, forming a layered canopy that provides ample
shade. The leaves are broad-ovate or elliptical, measuring 8 to 25 cm in length
and 5 to 14 cm in width, with a leathery texture and a vibrant green hue that
turns red before they fall. The tree produces small, white or greenish flowers
grouped in axillary inflorescences. The fruit is a fleshy, ovoid drupe about 6
cm long, which transitions from green to purple upon ripening. Inside the hard,
fibrous shell lies an oily seed reminiscent of an almond in both appearance and
taste
Medicinal Properties
Various parts of Terminalia catappa have been utilized in
traditional medicine for their therapeutic benefits. The bark is known for its
astringent and antidysenteric properties and serves as a mild diuretic. The
leaves exhibit antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, making them useful in
treating wounds and skin conditions. Additionally, the leaves have been found
to possess analgesic and antioxidant properties, contributing to their use in
pain relief and combating oxidative stress. The kernel oil, rich in oleic,
linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, is often used as a substitute for almond
oil and is believed to offer nutritional benefits.
Advantages and Uses
Terminalia catappa serves multiple purposes, both medicinal
and practical
- Nutritional
Benefits: The kernels are edible and can be consumed fresh, roasted,
or used in confectioneries. They are rich in proteins, healthy fats, and
essential amino acids, making them a valuable food source. In some
regions, the kernels are processed into flour for baking or used as a
thickening agent in soups and baby foods
- Medicinal
Uses: The bark and leaves are employed in traditional remedies to
treat ailments such as diarrhea, dysentery, and rheumatic joints. An
ointment made from leaf juice is applied to skin conditions like scabies.
- Environmental
Services: The tree's extensive root system aids in erosion control,
making it valuable for soil conservation efforts. Its broad canopy
provides shade and is often used in urban landscaping to enhance aesthetic
appeal and offer respite from the sun.
- Industrial
Uses: The wood is utilized in light construction, for making poles,
decorative veneers, and furniture. The fruit husks can be processed to
produce a black dye, while the bark and roots contain tannins used in
leather tanning.
Methods of Use
In traditional practices, various methods are employed to
harness the benefits of Terminalia catappa:
- For
Nutritional Purposes: The kernels can be eaten raw, roasted, or
incorporated into dishes as a protein supplement. In some cultures, they
are ground into flour to enrich baked goods or used as a thickener in
soups and porridges.
- Medicinal
Applications: A decoction of the bark is consumed to alleviate
digestive issues, while crushed leaves are applied topically to wounds or
inflamed areas to reduce swelling and prevent infection. Leaf extracts are
also used in baths to treat skin conditions.
- Environmental
and Industrial Uses: Planting the tree in erosion-prone areas helps
stabilize the soil. The wood is harvested for construction purposes, and
the fruit husks are processed to extract dyes for textile coloring.
Harvesting and Preservation
The fruits of Terminalia catappa typically mature and are
ready for harvest during the late summer to early autumn months. In Nepal, this
period aligns with the end of the monsoon season. To harvest, ripe fruits that
have turned purple are collected from the tree or the ground. The outer flesh
is removed to access the hard-shelled kernel inside. To preserve the kernels,
they should be thoroughly dried to reduce moisture content, preventing mold
growth. Once dried, they can be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry
place for several months. For medicinal use, bark and leaves should be
harvested during the dry season when their active compounds are most
concentrated.
