Description
Taste your way through Brazil’s fruits with a local guide in a real market. Learn the stories, recipes and cultural secrets behind each exotic bite. A fun, surprising & flavourful experience.
This is not a cooking class or a restaurant tour, it’s a flavorful walk through Brazil’s biodiversity, led by a passionate local fruit expert.
You’ll stroll through a real farmer’s market, where your guide will select and open exotic fruits for you to taste, some you’ve heard of, many you definitely haven’t.
As you eat, they’ll share:
Nutritional value
Cultural background & folklore
Seasonal availability & economic impact
Traditional uses, including Brazilian recipes and drinks
From tangy acerola to creamy cashew fruit, and from bold tropical juiciness to sweet surprises, this tour will open your palate and your perspective.
What makes this activity unique?
Imagine the cool, slippery texture of sliced mango on a warm day, the sweet tang of cashew apples filling the air, and the unexpected zing of acerola. Each bite is a chance to feel Brazil on your tongue fresh, bold, and unforgettable.
This is your chance to sample Brazil’s hidden gems: jabuticaba, graviola, fruits you won’t spot in supermarkets back home. Each one carries a taste of Brazil’s tropical landscapes, flavours that are hard to find outside its borders.
Guided by a local expert, hear about Brazil’s deep-rooted relationship with these fruits. Discover why the cashew apple holds a special place in Brazilian stories or how jabuticaba is often used in family recipes passed down through generations.
Step into a world of color and movement, where your guide navigates bustling aisles filled with fresh produce and local specialties. Vendors call out, locals gather to buy their favorites, and you’re right in the heart of it, sampling the very best of Brazil’s seasonal treasures.
