Uxi
Origin
The uxi, Sendopleura uchi, an
genuinely <strong>Amazon</strong>ian fruit, is
nicknamed to the poor man’s fruit,
since it does nothing to call any
Attention or to be discovered. But
under the thin marbled, earthcolored
bark it hides a tiny layer
of scented pulp. Gnawing its pulp
down from the oval stone with the
teeth, it is appreciated by children
and those, whose soul preserved
some childish side. The others
enjoy it in refreshments and ice
creams. It is only sold in street
markets on the country side or by
vendors on the street. Fruit of
quite a large tree in the forest, it
can reach a height of 40 meters, it
is fairly oily and even provides an
oil which resembles in consistency
and taste olive oil.
Aroma
The oily pulp is slightly sandy and
tastes like a nutty banana and also
remembers forest, bark and earth.

pastries, liqueurs and ice creams.
