Lemongrass Ants in Amazon Rainforest: Banana Chips available now T-shirts: Thanks to Guilherme for taking us around Brazil. BELM, BRAZIL - The state of Par in the northern part of Brazil, still located in the Amazon jungle, is one of the most gorgeous and food rich states of Brazil. Along with massive river fish, one of the main foods grown in and around Belem is aa (acai, the small berries from the acai palm tree. #Brazil #AmazonRainforest #acai Before going across the river to a harvest aa (acai) and for a full Amazon jungle food meal, we stopped at the Belem market and bought a chunk of fihote, a type of Amazon catfish. We met up with our friends, and took the boat to Cumbu island, to meet with relatives of Lana, who arranged for us to have an entire aa (acai) food experiences. When you think about aa (acai, unless youre from Belem, you probably think about a sweet fruit bowl covered with fruits, and possibly some granola mixed in. Thats all I knew about acai before coming to Belem. But in the state of Para, acai is eaten totally different. The berries are ground into a paste, and eaten as a main dish with a full meal - typically with fried fish. One of the reasons why aa (acai) is eaten this way only in the northern Amazon rainforest is because aa (acai) really doesnt travel or export fresh. It spoils so fast, within hours of being ground. So typically they sweeten it and make it into a sorbet to get around the world - which is why its then prepared into a sweet fruity aa (acai) bowl. Thats not bad at all, just totally different from how they eat it in the Amazon. Along with an outstanding acai feast, we also had manioba, another staple of Para food - cassava leaves cooked for 7 days to take out the poison and cooked with a variety of pig parts. Its a wonderful dish. It was an amazing learning experience, and Ill never think of aa (acai) the same again.

Thank you, Mark for your videos. I am at a time in my life where traveling is not possible. But watching your videos, I can feel like I can travel the world, seeing fascinating sights and at least watching you enjoy the foods of the region.

Mark mentions near the end that Acai is considered a superfood. I think like red grapes, black cherries and blueberries having the blue and purple color of the skin is very high in antioxidants'anti-aging' properties.

'excuse my white legs' not even relevent but still mentions. white people always try to mention the fact that they are white, its pathetic. u dont see brown, black or asians say excuse my brown legs or my black legs.

It would be great to get the views of other guest (s. What about the guy in the red t-shirt? Let the others have a voice too. It adds interest and context to the video otherwise it becomes very predictable. Just saying.

I like this guy & I think he does a great job. but I don't like his face gestures. they are so exagerated every single time. I am sure there are times that he doesn't really like something. or is disgusting.

We had those small peppers in Peru as well. They are extremely hot. Some call them monkey penises. You placed a few in a jar with vinegar and vegetables and after a few days everything in the jar was spicy hot

So that's what the super akaii berries look like - first time I'm seeing it. To your health, you always find great hosts in every country you visit. Thank you Mark, and to the Brazillian family.

Mark, you should come back to Indonesia and trying how local people in Papua eat sagoo (it called papeda) Papua is the greatest island in Indonesia actually, but you can start from Raja Ampat.
