Did you know?
A favourite for ice cream and juice in northeastern Brazil. The fruit is not picked but gathered after it drops when ripe; unripe fruit contains a milky latex that leaves a burning sensation in the mouth.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
