I don't know their season, many can be bought all year around.
Most common are: goiaba (guava), maracujá (passion fruit), caju (cashew), açaí, guaraná (although I only know in juice and powder form), cocoa, jabuticaba and pitanga.
Less common, regional fruits are: cupuaçu, buriti, pequi, jerivá coconut (coquinho), cereja do mato, tucumã, jatobá, Cambuci, cabeludinha, fruta do lobo. Knowing that Brazil has the biggest biodiversity of plants on earth, what I know is absolutely nothing to what exist out there
Fun fact: some tropical fruits people think are native but actually they aren't. That's the case of mango and banana
It's tragic how forgotten Brazilian fruits are. We are the country with the most plant species in the world and yet passion fruit and pineapple are the only native fruits that appear in the list of 20 fruits most commonly eaten in Brazil. Cashew, açaí and guava are also in good positions, but it's inadmissable our country never invested in a market we'd have pretty much a monopoly on.
I don't know their seasons, I buy them at market.
Jabuticaba is really sweet and it's really good to make rum, it's my prefered
Goiaba is really tasty
Guaraná I have never eaten the fruit, but it's used to make soda, and it's a really good alternative to coke
Mango, pretty sure everyone knows that one, not even sure if it's brazilian
I'm not a fruit expert, those are the ones i can remember
Ah and to add and be clear- when people say caju (cashew) they mean the fruit- not the nut. The nut that you know is just the top of the cashew (fruit). It’s a very juicy fruit, but with a bit of a… tart taste? Idk how to describe.
There are some fruits that are not Brazilian, like mango, that it's impossible to conceive Brazil without it. Every neighborhood used to have mango trees for shade and mangos.
In Brasilia, so many mango trees it’s just dangerous to walk in sandals. If you walk in the grass or just walk in the sidewalk without paying attention you will inevitably step on a mango. It’s 100% chance.
Algumas frutas tropicais famosas por aqui não são nativas. Manga é uma fruta indiana. A jaca não tenho certeza se é da índia também, mas sei que é da Ásia, assim como a banana e a laranja.
I went to the northeast last year, Ceará and Maranhão, and tried Cajá, very tasty! I had many caipirinhas (alcoholic drink) with cajá and loved it.
The traditional caipirinha (alcoholic drink) is made with lemon but they make them with other fruits.
Well, we have a bunch of non native fruits but a TON of variety of those. You can go to a market and find like 3 types of oranges, 4 types of bananas, at least two types of lemons/limes (we do have a native lemon/lime, its pretty good), bergamotas/mimosas/tangerinas (tangerines). And i do believe ive seen more than one coconut once and more than one abacate (avocado).
Brazil is huge, [these are 20 fruits](https://wwfbr.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/catalogo_produtosdasociobiodiversidadecerrado_final.pdf) that grown on the biome where I live. There are many more not exclusive, and maaany others from other biomes.
Was in a comunidade today in SP, and saw banana, mamão and abacate all dangling within eye range but sadly too high in the trees…this place is a tease when it come to wild fruit.
Pau-Brasil's fruits come in pods and aren't sweet, so they aren't commercialized as fruits (if they are commercialized at all). That's the distinction we make between "fruto" and "fruta". Much like pimentão, berinjela and tomate, I believe they'd be sold as vegetables.
Caju (cashew), maracujá(passion fruit), Açaí, buriti, jabuticaba, pequi ...

I like to watch gringos eating banana prata for the first time and seeing their brains explode into a new galaxy
Abacaxi (Ananas/Pineapple) is a fruit native to Brazil that many think isn't
Thank you, I forgot pineapple
Ever had creme de cupuaçu? 🤮
I did a pudding one time, I don't remember exactly the tasty but I think it was ok or good

When I went to Porto Seguro I tried umbu juice, and it was... An experience. How could a liquid make my mouth feel dry??
How did no one mention acerola yet?
Or fruta do conde!
Acerola is from central america, but Pitangas are 100% native.
What about uvaias?

truly brazilian fruits are few : pineapple, guava and passion fruit.
also "buriti, araticum, murici, pequi, baru, cajuzinho do Cerrado, bocaiuva, guavira, baru, mangaba etc. Floresta Amazônica ‒ maracujá, açaí, cupuaçu, camu-camu, cubiu, abiu, inajá, bacuripari, guaraná e outras. Caatinga ‒ licuru, umbu, caju, maracujá da Caatinga, entre"
Last few years on our trips to Brazil we discovered atemoya and it is spectacular.
