Fruits

Brazil's unique and delicious varieties of fruits are its greatest treasure. Several varieties of tropical fruit don't need cultivation as they grow freely in the upland and wetland areas. Some of these fruits are palm fruits. Many of these are so exotic, they are known only in the region where they grow. Tourists find these unusual and new types of fruit in Manaus irresistible.

You can enjoy exotic fruits like the acai (which is rich in iron), the creamy white cupuacu and the graviola, which can either be eaten as is or transformed into sweets and ice creams. Cupuacu is added to flans, tortes made with caramel (doce de leite), and cakes. The other popular juices are Guarana, which is used in other places as syrup or as a powder added to energy shakes, and the refreshing tapereba or rusty orange juice, which is commonly known as yellow mombin juice.
