PITANGA Brazilian Cherry Did you know we have Pitanga trees at school and they have the best fruit right now. I thought I let you all know. The are like the best sour lolly you have ever eaten. Choose the really red ones, not the orange ones. Don't eat the pip. The grounds man, now has agreed to let them grow wild as they are fruit trees and they will provide privacy and great shade. Hurray for Brazilain Cherries I love them. You where to find me after school. Munching on them. Health Benefits- A good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and iodine. It is an antidiarrhoeic. Surinam cherry also has substantial amounts of the antioxidant lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin, gamma-carotene and rubixanthin. The seeds are reported to be toxic to some people and should be avoided.
