Sobre este Tip
Pequi is the Cerrado fruit that Goiás cooks with, and rice with pequi is the classic way to meet it. The yellow pulp wraps a stone covered in tiny spines, so scrape the pulp with your front teeth and never bite down. Ask the kitchen whether the stones are still in the dish, keep it away from small children and take your time with each piece. Locals chew slowly and enjoy every bite.
