Brazil is a tropical paradise and our biodiversity is mouthwatering! 🤤 If you want to discover authentic Brazilian fruits, you need to try these:
1. Caju (Cashew): The "Fake" Fruit 🥜
Did you know the caju we eat is actually a pseudo-fruit? The real fruit is the cashew nut (castanha)! 🧐 The cashew is juicy, rich in vitamin C, and has a unique flavor. In Brazil, cashew juice is an absolute classic in any snack bar!
2. Pequi: The Gold of the Cerrado 🟡🌵
Very popular in central Brazil, pequi has a very strong smell and taste. But beware: never bite the core! 🚫 Inside it, there are thousands of tiny thorns. The right way is to "gnaw" the pulp carefully. It's a challenge for the brave!
3. Cupuaçu and Açaí: Amazonian Power 🥣🌳
Cupuaçu is a "cousin" of cacao and has a white, creamy, and tart pulp. Açaí became world-famous as a superfood.
Açaí with Fish: In Northern Brazil, açaí is eaten plain with fried fish and "farinha." 🐟
Açaí na Tigela: In the rest of the country, we eat it cold with granola and fruits. 🍌🍓 The mix of Cupuaçu and Açaí is the perfect energy and flavor combo!
Which one would you be brave enough to try first?‼️😋
