FRUITS OF NATAL, BRAZIL
Neighborhood Fruit Stand.
Caju fruit or cashew. They are sitting here upside down. There is one nut per fruit. The fruit is stringy but makes wonderful juice.
Caja Fruit. They are like a small plums and a bit sour, but still fun to eat. They are used mostly for juice and they are generally from the Northeast of Brazil


Guava or goiaba - lovely pink inside. You can eat it all and cut it like an apple, but the seeds are hard.
One of my favorites, and I just tried it for the first time this week.
This is SIRIGUELA. They are small and have a big seed but are sweet and juicy with a note of citrus.

This is graviola. It is big with white flesh and black seeds that you clean out. Also great for juice.
The pineapple are delicious in the Northeast and not acidy. The price noted would be $1 USD
​
Below are oranges and they have lots of different tangerines

A wall of silver bananas. One fruit not shown on this page is passionfruit. The small red fruit on the fruit stand above is acerola. I believe it is mostly used for juice. they look like mini, mini vintage tomatoes, but a little darker red.




One type of papaya out of several
Tahity lemons
One type of melon out of many, including watermelon or melancia. All delicious
