The jabuticaba fruit is also known as the Brazilian Grape. It is grown in Brazil, Australia and California. The jabuticaba has a delicious deep purple fruit that resembles a grape. This fruit is unique as it grows directly from the tree’s trunk.
The purple skin covers a pink flesh, which has a tangy flavor. Usually, the tree fruits once or twice a year; however, with proper irrigation, the tree can fruit year-round in the tropics.
