Yeah, pinha in the northeast where they're pretty common. In the south, a native seed/nut is called pinha (it's a "pine" nut that is entirely different from the Mediterranean type of pine nut).

IIRC pinha the fruit is not native to Brasil, but to the Indian sub-continent like so many other amazing tropical fruits.

I would suggest for anyone looking for novel fruits in the northeast of Brasil, check out "Ingá", the variety that has the nickname "ice cream bean"[1]
