Edible Uses

The fruit can be eaten raw, made into jellies, syrups and preserves or fermented into wine. The purplish, grape-like fruit has a thick skin with a translucent, juicy pulp and a pleasant vinous flavour. In both taste and appearance they are remarkably like some cultivars of the muscadine grape. The fruit is rich in vitamin C. The fruit begin to ferment 2-4 days after harvest and should be consumed or processed immediately. The skin is usually discarded. The shining-black, globose fruit is up to 35mm in diameter. The jam is marketed in Brazil as 'Brazilian Grape Jelly'.
