Everything you ever wanted to know about fruit.

Okay, that title was a bit of an exaggeration. But here is an introduction to Amazonia fruit, at least!

The Amazon region is famous for a great many things, not the least of which being it's diversity of flora and fauna. Coming here, I thought I knew fruit. I was wrong. Walking through the market you see dozens upon dozens of varieties of fruit that I had never heard of, never knew existed. I'd like to share with you some of the most popular fruits of my state, Pará.


Fun fact: açaí is pronounced AH - sigh - eee
Brazil nut
Mango




Star fruit

This is what chocolate is made from!
