Top 10 Fruits

My top ten favorite fruits from Brazil:




10: Jambu fruit. This fruit is red and has a white inside. It is pear shaped and tastes similar to an apple.











9. Jaca or Jack fruit. This fruit can be either squishy or hard depending on the type you get. This fruit is really large and has a green exterior and a yellow inside.







8. Coco or coconut. This is one of my favorite drinks in Brazil besides eating the tasty white inside.




7. Maracuja or passion fruit. This fruit is used often to make juice and desserts. Some say that eating too many seeds make you sleepy.







6. Banana. In Brazil the bananas are smaller but more flavorful. They are delicious and wonderful in smoothies.





5. Acerola. This is a small red fruit that looks like a cherry. It is very high in vitamin C and I love this fruit as juice.






4. Umbu. This fruit is small like a cherry as well, but green. They are tart and have a very large pit.



3. Pinha. This fruit has many sections that pull apart and has large black seeds and a white slimy inside. It is very sweet and one of my favorites.









2. Abacaxi or Pineapple. The pineapple in Brazil is super sweet and really white inside. It tastes more like candy than fruit I think.


And the number one fruit is...






Mangos! I love mangos so very much and I used to pick them off of trees and just eat them on the street. So sweet and amazing!
