Jabuticaba berries are in at Jumping Red Ant

You may have also noticed in the last couple of weeks that Jumping Red Ant had Jabuticaba berries in, which is very exciting. Jaboticaba is an unusual looking purple black skinned fruit know as the Brazilian Grape Tree – being a popular native to Brazil. What we love about Jabuticaba berries is that the “grapes” form directly on the old growth trunk and branches, which makes them look very unique. For anyone who hasn’t tried Jabuticaba berries before they are both sweet and acidic – they have a tart skin and a pale, fleshy centre that’s incredibly sweet. Now for the health benefits, we are told that Jabuticaba berries are a rich source of many vital nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus and iron, they also have a high concentration of vitamin C and other antioxidants. Give these berries a try while they are in season!
