About Cupuacu

Cupuaçu is a tropical fruit from the Amazon region, with a large, thick, brown outer shell and a fragrant, pale pulp surrounding seeds. The pulp is soft and creamy, with a tangy, aromatic flavour often described as combining fruity and chocolate-like notes.

The pulp is used fresh or processed into juices, sweets, and other foods, and may be sold frozen or as a prepared pulp. The name can refer to the fruit or its pulp, so the edible part and processing should be made clear when comparing products.
