Did you know?
The most defining food of Brazil's cerrado region, in which a yellow, oily and intensely aromatic flesh surrounds the stone and is cooked with rice and chicken. ⚠️ The stone is covered in hard spines, so the fruit is never bitten through; the flesh is scraped off with the teeth without reaching the spines.
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.
