Tropical flavors

At Mercado São Sebastião (St. Sebastian market) in Fortaleza you can find many kinds of tropical fruit that are common in Northeast Brazil. They don't look perfect, spotless and shiny; they look natural, and that's good!
From top to bottom, these are their names (most come from native languages): Jaca (jackfruit); Murici (nance); Pitomba (Eugenia luschnathiana, couldn't find a common name in English); Serigüela (jocote); Acerola; Cajá (yellow mombin?); Sapoti ( sapodilla); Cajá-umbu (this is possibly a hybrid between cajá and umbu); Pequi; and Graviola (soursop).

At the market

CEAGESP is the huge wholesale market that supplies all kinds of fresh food to the city of São Paulo. On Saturdays, the central pavilion houses a farmer's market where anyone can get the best vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood... It's a feast for all senses!
