Common name: The common name has indigenous origins, from the Tupi pitãg, meaning red, alluding to the color of the fruit.

The fruits of this species are fleshy, yellow, red or dark vinaceous in color (depending on the variety), with a sweet to slightly acidic taste. They are eaten fresh and used to make juices, ice cream, popsicles, sweets, liqueurs and fermented products.
