After becoming an established and reputable supplier of fresh, sprouting Açaí seeds from our much loved Amazon region, we are now pleased to offer fresh Cupuaçu seeds. We are a small business of plant enthusiasts in the U.S. and in Brazil with a passion for allowing people around the world to taste the fruits of the Amazon basin from their own farm or garden plot. We offer excellent customer service contact, and very safe transactions with PayPal and Ebay.
Cupuaçu (theobroma grandiflorum) is yet another amazing species from the Amazon. It grows in similar locations to the other anti-oxidant miracle Açaí. Nutritionists are thrilled about the discovered health benefits that have made it an important food in Brazil for centuries. Cupuaçu is a relative of the Cacao plant, so the fruit is ready for fresh eating as a creamy tropical treat. When opened, there is a strong and sweet aroma.
There are many culinary uses for this fruit besides eating it fresh. A version of chocolate derived from this fruit is very popular in Japan. In Brazil, the pulp is covered with chocolate to create a creamy truffle.
It is also a much prized ice cream and pudding/mousse flavor. The delicious uses contribute to why this fruit has become the national fruit of Brazil. It is very high in anti-oxidants and is actually considered by some a painkiller and is used for improved digestion.
The fresh pulp is only available in the Amazon. With the right conditions, you can enjoy low cost anti-oxidant rich cupuaçu fruit and try all kinds of delicious recipes that are on the dessert menus in the Amazon region of Brazil. The tree is very versatile like Acai as well as its common relative Cacao.
We only ship Cupuaçu seeds during November-May because the fruit ripens during the rainy season. Like our Açaí seeds, they must be kept humid from cleaning to planting. We have been the most trusted source of Açaí seeds since 2007 for any order size and maintain high standards for quality with both seed types for customers around the world.
