Pitangatuba is a shrub of up to two meters in height, with a more or less thin crown and an oval shape. It can go almost unnoticed in the middle of the vegetation, but the ancient inhabitants of Brazil already enjoyed its fruits, which have a strong scent and are very tasty. Birds are also very fond of eating pitangatubas.
Although it is related to pitangas, in its shape and external appearance, pitangatuba resembles a miniature carambola: elongated, greenish-yellow, with buds. Pitangatuba is naturally found in the restingas of Southeastern Brazil, specifically, in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. Restingas are plant formations that occur along the coast, in sandy soils, and are considered ecosystems associated with the Atlantic Forest.
Imagine that, like pitangatuba, many other plant species that are still little known inhabit the restingas that resist on the coast of Brazil. Therefore, preserving the restingas means saving a huge heritage of our country.
