Ever heard of Chupa-Chupa?
By Mark Hooten, the Garden Doc
...I wonder how many knowledgeable people here have even heard of the
national fruit of Brazil? Ever heard of the chupa-chupa tree? Almost no-one in this country has, unless they are
either Brazilian by birth, or perhaps visit there regularly, exploring the
abundant fresh-fruit markets. It is a magnificent fruit tree, and deserves to be
better known here...
The flesh inside is bright orange, very sweet, and especially juicy!
...Something you might imagine as an unlikely cross of cantaloupe and pineapple,
and that it is especially juicy similar to a good pineapple...
