Scientific Name: Campomanesia phaea (O.Berg) Landrum

Family: Myrtaceae (Myrtaceae)

Common names: Cambucizeiro, Ubucambuci, Camuci, Camoti and Camocim.

Origin: This species is endemic to Brazil's Paulista Plateau, with a reported occurrence in the Serra dos Órgãos, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. 

The fruit of this species, which has a flattened shape reminiscent of a flying saucer, is green, even when ripe, with a fleshy, juicy and acid pulp. They are used to produce juice, ice cream, liqueur, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fermented products, jam, flour for cakes and syrup. Research has found high levels of vitamin C and antioxidant compounds in the fruit.

It is also used to prepare savory dishes and sauces, and the essential oil found in the leaves is highly valued by the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

In the Paraibuna region (SP), the harvest begins in March and can last until May. In some parts of the municipality, there is a “off-season” in November.
