\"\"<\/a>From acai<\/a> to pomegranates<\/a> to green tea<\/a>, researchers are quickly unearthing some of Mother Nature’s most powerful and nutrient-dense foods. Now the next treasure to be “discovered” out of the Amazon Rain Forest\u00a0 is Aguaje (pronounced ag-wah-hey), a brightly-colored yellow fruit encased in a scaly burgundy shell. Tasting a bit like a carrot, the aguaje packs about three times the Vitamin A punch as its bunny-beloved counterpart.<\/p>\n

The aguaje might become\u00a0a “Cinderella fruit,” a term coined by\u00a0 Nigel Smith, a\u00a0Venezuelan-born geographer\u00a0and professor at the University of Florida who has spent almost 40 years studying the Amazon region.\u00a0\u00a0Aguaje is like\u00a0a fit for the\u00a0coveted glass slipper\u00a0since it\u00a0matches up with\u00a0some of the criteria that have made these other\u00a0Amazon fruits so\u00a0successful: it’s already popular, abundant locally, easily incorporated into products like juice, and relatively simple to transport.<\/p>\n
