Hello fellow fruit addicts. I have been back in the classroom this year and not traveling as much but still have lots of cool things to offer.
Eugenia Dichroma PITANGA-DE-LAGARTO, Helton Josue Fanta soda Pitangahttps://www.ebay.com/itm/335206190540Large 4x4x6 container.
INDIGENOUS NAME: PITANGA-DE-LAGARTO, name given because some species of restinga lizard consume the fruit. It is also called Pitanga-fanta (because it resembles this drink but without gas), pitanga da restinga and pitanga da praia!
Origin: Endemic to the coastal restinga forest biome and its most significant occurrence is in the state of Espirito Santo and north of Rio de Janeiro; and may also appear in some areas of northeastern Brazil.
Uses: Fruits from December to January. The plant can be cultivated in landscape projects as an ornamental and cannot be missing in the recovery of degraded areas, as its fruits feed bird fauna. The flowers appear in large numbers at the beginning of spring, are aromatic and have great melliferous potential. The fruits can be harvested manually when they are lying on the ground under the plant's canopy. It can be consumed fresh, just by sucking the pulp, the skin and the membrane that surrounds the seeds have a bitter taste. The best way to use the fruits of this species is to manually pulp them through a sieve and a little water as shown in the photo above. Around 3 kg of pulped ripe fruit in a container with 2 liters of water can yield 2 liters of concentrated juice. Use 100 ml to make 1 liter of juice which is very refreshing and nutritious with a taste reminiscent of fanta. The concentrated pulp can be used to make juices, gelatins and cakes.
