About Bacuri

Bacuri is the fruit commonly known by that name in parts of tropical South America. Its thick outer rind surrounds a pale, aromatic pulp, which is eaten fresh or used in drinks, sweets, and other preparations; the fruit also contains seeds.

The pulp is soft and creamy to fibrous, with a distinctive tangy-sweet flavour. Bacuri is also encountered as frozen pulp or in prepared products, whose texture and flavour can differ from the fresh fruit; the name may be used regionally, so context matters when identifying a particular item.
