Did you know?

In the same genus as pequi, its oily kernel inside a very hard kidney-shaped shell is compared to Brazil nut. The shell carries a layer of fine spines, so it must be opened with care.

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.
