Malay apple
Origin
In many places in the <strong>Amazon</strong>
you can find the dense,
pyramidal canopys of the malay
apples, the “jambeiros”, Eugenia
malaccensis. The malay apple
was brought from India in a
flourishing traffic of biodiversity.
From the family of the
Myrtaceas, the flowers and
fruits exhibit exuberant colors:
White, pink, fuchsia, yellow and
purple-red, in a disloyal
competition for beauty. Quite
perishable, the fruits are sold on
street markets and street
borders.
Aroma
Pyramidal fruit, 6-7 cm long,
tastes very soft, sweet, slightly
acid, remembering roses.
Tasting the little juicy pulp and
slightly fluffy repeats the
impression. The pulp involves a
single seed.
Use
The Malaysian apple is eaten in
natura or in the form of jams,
ice creams and intense colored
liqueurs.
Classic
Pink colored compote.
Exotic
Pickled sweet-sour and in
chutneys with expressive colors.
Unmissable
In jams and ice cream or very
colorful liquors.
