Tropical Rainforest Plants Adaptations
It is estimated that a single acre of Amazon rainforest contains about 450 tons of living rainforest plants, including more than 750 types of trees and 1500 other rainforest plants!
At least 80% of the developed world’s diet originated in the tropical rainforest. Some of the things we eat from the rainforest include avocados, coconuts, figs, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, bananas, guavas, pineapples, mangos, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, rice, winter squash, yams, black pepper, cayenne, chocolate, cinnamon, cola, cloves, ginger, sugar cane, coffee, vanilla, gum, Brazil nuts and cashews.
