GRAVIOLA

Fruta onginána das terras baixas da América Central e Vales Peruanos, a graviola é uma das frutas das regiões tropicais da América com grande aceitação, principalmente nos países da América Latina.

Diz a história que os conquistadores espanhóis encontraram grandes plantações na América Central e se encarregaram de difundir o cultivo da graviola em outras regiões tropicais do mundo. Por isso, em cada região do planeta a graviola possui um nome diferente: guanábana nos países de língua espanhola, soursop nos países de língua inglesa, corossollerou grand corossol na França, durian belanda, na Malásia, katu-anodo ou seetah, no Sn Lanka e zuurzak, na Holanda. Ao Brasil chegou pelas mãos dos colonizadores portugueses no século XVI, e hoje o cultivo e consumo da polpa de graviola em sucos e sorvetes vem crescendo a cada dia.

A gravioleira é uma árvore de médio porte (atinge de 4 a 6m de altura) com folhas verdes brilhantes e flores amareladas, grandes e isoladas, que nascem no tronco e nos ramos. Os frutos têm formato ovalado, casca verde-pálida com falsos espinhos carnosos curtos e moles. Chegam pesar entre 750g a 8kg e contêm muitas sementes, pretas, envolvidas por uma polpa branca, de sabor doce porém ligeiramente ácido. São muito utilizados na culinária, no preparo de sucos, sorvetes, compotas, purês, chutneys, geléias, gelatinas, pudins e coquetéis.

No Brasil, produz bem em quase todo o território, mas sobretudo na Amazônia, no Nordeste e no cerrado, com colheitas de janeiro a março. Éboa fonte de vitaminas do complexo B, importantes para o metabolismo. Por suas propriedades medicinais, é utilizada no combate a verminoses, diarréia, disenteria, transtornos gástricos, febre, fraqueza e cólicas abdominais.

SOURSOP

Native of the plain lands of Central America and Peruvian valleys, the soursop is one of the very appreciated fruits grown in tropical regions of America, specially in Latin American countries.

It is told that the Spanish conquistadores have found large plantations in Central America and were responsible for spreading the soursop cultivation in other tropical regions of the world. For this reason, in each region of the planet the soursop has a different name: guanábana in Spanish-speaking countries, graviola in Brazil and Portugal, corossolier or grand corossol in France, durian belanda, in Malasia, katu-anodo or seetah, in Sri Lanka and zuurzak, in Holland. In Brazil, it arrived by the hands of Portuguese colonizers in the 16th century, and today the cultivation and consumption of the soursop pulp in juices and ice-cream has been growing each day.

The soursop tree is a medium-sized tree (with height ranging from 4to 6m) with bright green leaves and yellowish flowers, big and isolated, which blossom on the trunk and branches. The fruits are oval, and have a pale green rind with fleshy and soft false thorns. They can weigh between 750g and 8kg and have lots of black seeds in a white pulp, of sweet but slightly sour taste. They are largely used in cooking, in the preparation of juices, ice-cream, compotes, purées, chutneys, jams, jellows, puddings and cocktails.

In Brazil, it grows well in almost all regions, but specially in the Amazon, in the Northeast and in the Mid-west, with harvests from January to March. It is a good source of complex B vitamins which are important for metabolism. Due to its medicinal properties, it is utilized in the combat to verminosis, diarrhea, dysentery, gastric disturbances, fever, weakness and cramps.
