    Notes
    Fruits such as the orange, papaya and tamarind have travelled the world so much that one could easily forget where they originally came from (China, Mexico and Sudan, respectively). Perhaps the Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) from Brazil will follow in their tracks one day. Delicious and nutritious, it grows in the wild in various regions of Brazil, and is being domesticated by researchers at the Brazilian fruit research agency. The fruit has the size of a plum, is red with a thin skin and sweet flesh containing one seed. It can be eaten fresh, but is also used in syrup, compotes, wine and vinegar and its elastic gum serves well in ice-cream recipes. The tree grows between 2 and 10 m high and likes a warm, humid climate. EMEPA PB C P 275 CEP 58.013-290 João Pessoa Brazil Fax: + 55 83 222 71 36 Email: emepa@netwaybbs.com.br
