Jaboticaba (200g box) WINTER FRUIT - SO TART
Winter fruit has much lower sugar. We still like eating these out of hand but they are too tart for some people. Great for cooking things like cordial.
Jaboticaba is like a blackcurrant grape with a slight astringency. It is high in antioxidants and vitamins B and C. A favourite fruit in Brazil, they are best eaten fresh. Hold the fruit in between your front teeth and quickly bite into it to crack the skin open. Then press it to release the inside into your mouth, as you do with a soft skinned grape. Discard the skin if you wish. Jaboticabas can also be made into cordial, wine and jelly. Store in the fridge.
