frutos do brasil

i remember the first time i came to brazil, about 14 years ago, i was blown away by the variety of fruits available - most of which i have never before seen, tasted or even heard of. there are dozen's of native brazilian fruits that are found no where else, with no equivilant english names -  varieties my taste buds could have hardly imagined. just take a look at the variety of fruit popsicle flavors available from one of the most delicious local brands, frutos do brasil.
don't even get me started on the options available at juice stands spread out all over leblon and ipanema!
