CUPUAÇU
Cupuaçu
Cupuaçu é o fruto de uma árvore originária
da Amazônia (Theobroma
grandiflorum, família Malvaceae), parente
próxima do cacaueiro. A árvore é conhecida
como cupuaçuzeiro, cupuaçueiro ou cupu, é
uma fruta típica da região norte brasileira,
muito encontrada nos estados do Amapá, Pará
e Amazonas. É muito usado na culinária doce,
azeda e agridoce pelos nativos da Amazônia.
O cupuaçu contém ferro, fósforo e proteínas, necessários para a formação celular,
participando dos processos químicos que permitem a continuação da vida.
De sabor forte[3], o cupuaçu é comumente usado em sorvetes, sucos e vitaminas, que são
muito consumidos e admirados em todo o país. Doces à base de cupuaçu são também muito
admirados, tais como o creme, compotas, geleias e refrescos. Dentre outros usos
importantes, acham-se o "vinho" (refresco sem álcool) e licores.
O cupuaçu é utilizado, também tradicionalmente, como ingrediente na confecção
de bombons, que obtiveram reconhecimento em todo o país.
Outro uso relevante do cupuaçu é na fabricação do cupulate, que é um produto cujo sabor se
assemelha ao chocolate.
Na Bolívia, é fabricada uma bebida feita do cupuaçu que é vendida para vários países da
Europa.
Há diversos estudos científicos, tanto no Brasil quanto no exterior, que utilizam as sementes
do cupuaçu e sua polpa para tratar doenças no trato gastrointestinal. Essas pesquisas
apontam também o uso do cupuaçu como antioxidante e como base para desenvolvimento de
produtos de beleza.
