have been eating a bunch of sabaras lately. A few observations:
What does jaboticaba taste like? To me, it tastes like grape flavoring. Not actual grapes, but like what a grape slush puppie tastes like.
Delicious! Once popping the shell open has occurred, the juice really squirts into your mouth with a rush of flavor. There are usually 1-3 "lumps" of flesh. Do not swallow if you wish to keep the seeds, as they are inside the "lump" and quite easy to swallow without even realizing it.
Also, fruit pulp that appears reddish, rather than whitish, has been exposed to oxygen and may taste fermented, like wine. I don't usually eat the skins, as they are quite tannic, and somewhat rough on my stomach, but I have heard they can have medicinal properties if eaten in limited amounts
