Yerba mate
Yerba mate (from Spanish (:ˈʝerβa ˈmate); (ポルトガル語:erva-mate) (:ˈɛɾvɐ ˈmate) or (:ˈɛɾvɐ ˈmatʃɪ)) is a species of the holly family (Aquifoliaceae), with the botanical name ''Ilex paraguariensis'' A. St.-Hil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ITIS Report )〕 named by the French botanist Auguste François César Prouvençal de Saint-Hilaire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Index of Botanists )〕
Yerba mate is widely known as the source of the beverage called mate ((ポルトガル語:chimarrão), and other variations). It is traditionally consumed in central and southern regions of South America, particularly Argentina, Bolivia, southern and center-western Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Chile. It is also very popular in Syria where it is imported from Argentina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Argentina’s 'yerba mate' crunch )〕 Yerba mate was initially utilized and cultivated by the Guaraní people and in some Tupí communities in southern Brazil, prior to European colonization. It was scientifically classified by the Swiss botanist Moses Bertoni, who settled in Paraguay in 1895. Yerba mate can also be found in various energy drinks on the market today.
