Mamao- papaya
Manga- mango
Maracuja- passion fruit
Caqui- not sure the English word for it.
The fruits in order have slowly become a craving over the past year and a half. It started with the papaya now I can't get enough of the passion fruit. Today I bought the caqui because I am thinking I need a new obsession. Plus I think they are in season because they are everywhere and very cheap. I will let you know how it goes!
Tchau,
Sara
Caqui is "persimmon"

There are two kinds that I like in Brazil, caqui ( regular ) and caqui chocolate, also really good.
The regular caqui is juicy and soft when ripe.
The caqui chocolate is also delicious in it's own way, but it's firmer and not as juicy.

That's what it is!! I knew that I had heard the English name before but it wasn't a fruit we normally eat. I will have to look out for the caqui chocolate just to try!

My grandfather used to play jokes on us as kids and give us un-ripe persimmons. They are so bitter it feels like you face turns inside out... brutal!
