Fruits of Brazil
Tue, Nov 27th 2007, 00:00
Perhaps Brazils greatest treasure is her bounty of fruit.
To the tourist, the sheer variety of new and unusual types of fruit in Brazil can be overwhelming …
Brazilians use fruits in many ways: eaten raw, made into juices, jellies, marmalades, compotes, fermented beverages such as wines and liqueurs, syrups, and flavourings for ice cream.
A popular desert is a sweet firm paste of fruit pulp mixed with sugar. The names for these pastes typically end with “ada.” For example, guava is called goiaba by the Brazilians, and in the form of a sweet paste becomes goiabada.
The Cajú, or cashew apple, is a red or yellow fruit resembling a bell pepper. This cashew apple is not the real fruit on the plant; it is a swollen flower stem. The true fruit lies in the kidney-shaped sac dangling from it, the cashew nut!
