Origin
Cupuassu originated in south and southeastern Amazonia in Brazil and is also native to the states of Para and Maranhao. Today, it can be found near the Tapajos, Xingu, and Guama rivers, and in northeastern Maranhao (Vasconcelos et al. 1975). 4
The aboriginal inhabitants of the area cultivated this fruit in pre-Columbian times, thus separation of natural occurrence from man’s involvement in dispersal is difficult. At present, it is cultivated in Brazil from São Paulo state in the south to Roraima state in the north; in many cases it is planted as a backyard plant since there are not many commercial-scale plantings. It is also being cultivated on a small scale in Trinidad and Tobago, Ecuador, Guyana, Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia, Martinique and Ghana. 14

Description

A promising new fruit is cupuassu [Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd ex Spreng) Schum, Sterculiaceae], a close relative of cacao (T. cacao L.). Cupuassu fruit contains a highly-flavored pulp that can be used for juices, ice creams, liquors, wine, and jellies. The seeds can be used to make chocolate (Vasconcelos et al. 1975). 4
Theobroma grandiflorum, otherwise known as Cupuassu, grows up to 50 ft (15 m) high. It is evergreen with brown bark, elongated or pyramidal crown, and bole that can be up to 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter. It is common in rainforests in South America. The fruits are oblong, brown, and covered with a thick and hard exocarp. The fruit pulp can be eaten raw to made into juice, jams, and desserts. 6

Leaves/Branches
The larger leaves can reach 20 in. (50 cm) long by 5 in. (13 cm) wide, a dark green above with gray-green, prominently-veined undersides. These are attached by short petioles to the branches. New growth flushes appear pale rose, soon maturing and turning green. Leaves in orthotropic branches (vertical orientation) are spirally arranged while those in plagiotropic branches (horizontal) are alternate. 5
Growth pseudo-apical, with lateral branches in 3s; the apical shoot aborting and replaced by development of bud above one of the lateral branches, older branches becoming horizontal or descending. 10

Roots
Cupuassu has robust taproot rarely less than 6.5 ft (2 m) deep, particularly when established in uniform permeable soils with a clay-sand structure. Secondary roots are abundant and superficial and are mostly concentrated in the extremities. In adults they reach up to 20 ft (6 m) with abundant lateral roots. 1

Flowers
Reddish flowers with thick, triangular sepals are borne singly or in small clusters. 9
The inflorescence is a cyme with 3-5 flowers, 5 dark-purple subtrapezoidal petals, a calyx with 5 triangular sepals, 5 stamens with bilocular anthers, 5 staminodes. Flowers are, surprisingly, hermaphrodite. 1
The inch-plus diameter red and white flowers appear nearly year round, but the plants bear only in spring. The cupuassu is reported to have the largest flowers and fruit in the genus. 5

Fruit
Cupuassu fruit are similar in size and shape to a large mamey sapote (Pouteria sapote (Jacq.) H.E. Morre and Stem). The exterior surface is covered by a rust-coloured, easily-removed short hairs. These are attached to a hard rind whose walls vary from 1¼ to 3/8 inches in thickness. To break open this strong shell requires taking the fruit in one's hand and giving it a quick thump on a hard surface such as concrete. Inside are a mass of seeds, each covered by a soft, white, slippery, fibrous pulp. The easiest way to remove the tenacious flesh from the seeds (in this case there were 33 seeds) is to cut the adhering flesh from the seeds with scissors. The sweet-acid pulp is not normally eaten fresh out of the fruit. Instead it is used to flavour an assortment of ice creams, milk shakes, pastries, etc. 5
It has a velvet brown skin and hangs on long pedicels. The woody pericarp is easily broken to expose the edible seeds, which are round, flat and have a certain similarity with the true cacao kernels, but have more fat having a consistency of cacao butter. 10
Cupuassu seeds, about an inch long by slightly less in width, can be used to make a superior chocolate, has a higher melting point and a lower fraction of saturated fat than chocolate derived from cocoa beans. 5

Varieties

In Pará, Brazil, three cultivars of cupuaçu are known: Redondo, with its rounded end, which is the most common; Mamorano, which has a pointed end and produces the biggest fruits; and Mamau, possibly a parthenocarpic mutant. Artificial hybrids between T. grandiflorum and T. obovatum produce fruits with the characteristics of cupuaçu, but which are smaller and less resistant to witches’ broom disease. 2

Harvesting
The ripe fruit is harvested when it falls to the ground. 1

Pollination
In spite of having hermaphrodite flowers - it is essentially allogamous - the result of having a complex system of genetic self incompatibility which prevents self fertility. 1

Propagation
The cupuaçu is generally propagated from seed, but seedless varieties such as Mamau are propagated from cuttings or grafts. As in all species of Theobroma, the seeds are not resistant to desiccation and are sown as soon as they have had the flesh removed and been washed. 3
Sow the seed as soon as it is ripe, in a semi-shaded position in individual containers. Cover with about 15mm of soil. Germination rates of fresh seed is usually high, with sprouting taking place in 20 - 40 days. Young plants are usually ready for planting out 5 - 6 months late. 7
For propagation by cutting, young terminal branches with about five leaves are used, as in cocoa. Propagation by grafting requires stocks obtained from seeds of cupuaçu itself or of other Theobroma species, such as T. obovatum which produces dwarf plants. 3
The plants start bearing four years after plantation. The fruit on maturity turns brownish with yellowish or whitish internal colour. The fruit must be collected off the ground within a day or two of dropping otherwise it starts rotting. Fruits do not ripen if harvested from the trees. The mature fruit can keep for about 10 days. A 4-5 year old tree produces 20 to 30 fruits and a mature tree of over 7 years can yield 60 to 70 fruits. 8

Culture
The cupuassu tree can be found throughout the Amazon region as part of spontaneous vegetations on non-inundated areas, particularly near existing or former settlements, in high-rainfall primary forests and along river banks. It can be found at elevations between sea level and 1,000 m. Cupuassu prefers a very humid environment of 77–88% with little temperature variation throughout the year, and mean annual temperatures of between 21.6°C to 27.5°C, and rainfall of between 1,900 and 3,000 mm. Trees need lots of water for good growth. 2
The young plants will need shade during their first year in the field and when adult they can grow under shade or in full sun. 14

Pruning
When this tree of the humid tropics becomes too large, it can survive severe pruning, which the closely-related cocoa would not tolerate. 5

Fertilizing
The cupuaçu, like cocoa, is a plant which requires nutrients and needs annual fertilization. During the growth stage, 50 g of 12-12-12 NPK + Mg are applied each year; from the fourth year 120 g: and, during production, 500 g of the formula 15-15-13 + Mg, divided into three yearly dressings with 20 additional litres of manure. 2

Diseases
The most serious disease of cupuaçu is witches' broom, caused by the fungus Crinipellis perniciosa which is endemic to Amazonia. It affects new branches, flower buds and growing fruit most seriously. The branches attacked swell and put out a great number of shoots similar to a broom, which then wither. The flower buds affected put out "small brooms". The diseased tree does not die but gradually weakens, with a conspicuous reduction in yield. To control the disease, systematic pruning of the diseased branches is recommended at least twice a year. 2

Food Uses
The delicious fruit pulp is eaten raw or prepared into a wide variety of beverages, juices, ice-cream, yoghurt, sorbet, preserves, sweets, jams, jellies, puddings and other desserts. The seeds have a high amount of fat and provide a good cocoa butter and can be used to produce chocolate and chocolate-like foodstuffs. Cupuaçu can replace cocoa in many day-to-day foods, especially for children, such as chocolate milk. Cupuaçu seeds can be made into cupulate, which looks and tastes just like chocolate but is cheaper and more resistant to heat. 2
Copoazu is closely related to cocoa; its seeds can be similarly fermented to make chocolate-like products and nut butter. This is because the seed has a high content in digestible fats, in particular oleic acid, which enables its use as a replacement for cocoa butter. When the seed is fermented to produce “chocolate,” it contains about half the antioxidant capacity of cacao chocolate. 13
The pulp is high in pectin (a soluble fibre and gelling agent) and has a low pH value. These characteristics make it a good candidate to replace food additives in pastry. 13

Nutrient Content
Studies of the cupuaçu's dietetic characteristics, with the juices, nectar and preserves industry in mind, show that the fresh juice contains 10.8 percent brix, 21.91 percent amino acids, 23.12 percent vitamin C per mg and 3.0 percent reducing sugars, and that the pH is 3.3. The flesh makes up 40 percent of the fruit and seeds 18 percent. The seeds contain 48 percent sweet-smelling, white butter, which can also be used to make excellent-quality white chocolate. 3

Other Uses
Cupuassu seeds, about an inch long by slightly less in width, can be used to make a superior chocolate. The product, referred to as cupulate, has a higher melting point and a lower fraction of saturated fat than chocolate derived from cocoa beans. 5
Seeds of this species are used as chocolate substitute. It is rich in oil and a great source of cocoa butter. It can also be used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. 6
The wood is of medium texture, straight-grained, moderately heavy and with moderate natural durability. It is very little used, but is suitable for cabinet making and internal cladding of buildings. 7
