About Cupuaçu fruit

Cupuaçu fruit is a large tropical fruit with a thick, brown shell and fragrant, pale pulp surrounding seeds. The edible pulp is soft and creamy, with a tangy, aromatic flavour that can suggest both fruit and chocolate. The shell is not the same food as the pulp.

The pulp is eaten fresh or processed into juices, sweets, and other preparations, and is often sold frozen or as prepared pulp. Fruit size, ripeness, and the amount of pulp separated from seeds affect the edible material represented by a given product.
