RE: DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS? - YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY

@papa-pepper happy new year!

I am from the Colombian Amazon, and yes here in my land the arazá abounds! In fact, it grows in the wild, it is an exotic fruit. Now it is grown in other places in Colombia as well.

Our climate is tropical, (hot and humid)
The shrub is small and very generous in its fruit. Its fruit production is from the second year of life, can bear fruit twice a year, but in humid climate like ours produces much more.

With the fruit, juices, yoghurts, sweets, jams, preserves, sweet and sour sauce for meats are prepared. Its pulp is very delicate, which is why it is difficult to transport the whole fruit. Here a kilo is worth about a dollar!
I can not imagine how much you pay for it.

I see that you have some pressure to split the fruit maybe it is still green! because the mature araza is too tender.

Here you can find more nutritional information and about the crop. It is in Spanish but can be translated easily. It is reliable source.
