Campomanesia lineatfolia "Tikuna Pallilo"

Campomanesia lineatfolia "Tikuna Pallilo" is one of the sweetest varieties of Campomanesia I've tried, which we encountered in the Amazon when the fruit was ripe.

It has a caramel-like jelly with a mild classic Campomanesia flavor and a gentle acidity, while the flesh surrounding the seed has a slightly spicy black pepper kick! It was definitely a highlight of the trip.

Campomanesia lineatfolia comes from the tropics of the Amazon Jungle. Interested in seeing what other fruits are found there?
