About Pitanga
Pitanga, commonly known as Surinam cherry, is a vibrant red or dark purple fruit native to tropical regions of South America, particularly Brazil. Distinguished by its ribbed appearance and tart, slightly sweet flavor, Pitanga is a cornerstone in Brazilian cuisine, often used in juices, jams, desserts, or eaten fresh. This fruit is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which support immunity, skin health, and vision. It also contains antioxidants and anthocyanins that help combat oxidative stress. Pitanga is low in calories and high in dietary fiber, promoting digestion. Its anti-inflammatory properties have been linked to improved cardiovascular health. While Pitanga is generally healthy, its flavor can be quite acidic, which may irritate sensitive stomachs. Whether enjoyed raw or incorporated into recipes, Pitanga offers both delicious taste and impressive health benefits, making it a favorite among tropical fruit enthusiasts.
