Brazil is a very large country and it have different climates and vegetation. Each region have rich culinary options worthy the experience.
This post is about pequi, a fruit typical from the Brazilian cerrado. The most common uses are in the "galinhada" (rice with chicken and pequi) and the "arroz com pequi" (rice with pequi and "carne de sol", a salted bovine meat). Both options can be eaten with a green salad for dinner.
You will easily find them visiting cities as Uberaba, Uberlandia, Montes Claros and Goiania. It's also possible to find them in Brasilia.
To eat the fruit I recommend you to take it with your hands and eat, taking care because it's a bit like a small mango, with a big seed inside and it's better not to break the seed or you'll end the night at the hospital with a lot of thin thorns inside your mouth. The seed is hard, don't be afraid. This is an advice just for you don't force it and concentrate in the delicious yellow eatable part of the fruit.
Enjoy it! When you taste it, take a pic and share on Instagram with the tag #nyckastip and your opinion on the experience.
