Theobroma grandiflorum

Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a small-to-medium tree in the rain forest canopy which belongs to the cocoa family and can reach up to 20 m in height. Cupuaçu fruit has been a primary food source in the rain forest for both indigenous peoples and animals alike. Cupuaçu fruit is known for its creamy exotic tasting pulp. The pulp is used throughout Brazil and Peru to make fresh juice, ice-cream, jam and tarts. The fruit ripens in the rainy months from January to April and is considered a culinary delicacy in South American cities where demand outstrips supply.
