On Saturday, my family stumbled on three fruit under a 4 ft shrub labeled Araza Eugenia stipitata. The fruits were about an inch and a half, yellow orange colored. The flesh was yellow. The seeds were small, less than a quarter inch and each fruit had 3 or 4 seeds. The taste was really good. Very sweet and medium tart. It brought back childhood memories of fruit rollups. I did not think to take any pictures since I have never had it before and did not recognize the name. Once I tasted it, I was focused on the flavor. The plant is to the south east of the jaboticaba near a path with a bench. There are lots of guava in the area.
The reason I think it is mislabeled is because everything I have read says it is too tart to eat by itself and large. Maybe there are smaller sweet varieties? Maybe the general opinion of too tart doesn't apply to me and my oldest daughter. I would love to know what it is, right or wrong and would appreciate any experience with the tree in question or Araza in general.
