Laraha plantation
The plantation that grows the indigenous Laraha is located in the Eastern part of Curaçao and consists of approximately 45 Laraha trees. Each tree produces approximately 150 to 200 fruits, which result in 25 to 35 kilograms of dried peels. The trees are harvested twice a year, but the harvesting is not as simple as you would think. The Laraha trees are 3 meters long and taking one fruit requires a special technique.
