Serenoa repens
organic saw palmetto
plant overview
saw-toothed palm of the sea
Saw palmetto, also known as cabbage palm, is a shrubby, dwarf species of palm
tree that is primarily distributed throughout sandy, coastal regions of the
southeastern U.S. Although it is extremely hardy and slow-growing, it also has
the distinction of being the most common and smallest palm tree in the U.S. It
is not, however, short on longevity. In fact, some specimens that are still
soaking up the sun in Florida were seedlings well over 500 years ago. Saw
palmetto berries were widely used as food by Native Americans and are still
harvested today, although we now know the fruits are a good source of fatty
acids, flavonoids and plant sterols.
