Prepared Pequi Pulp
The pequi is processed at the time of gathering and is in part stored under water until the time of the Kwarup (in the dry season), when, along with the roasted fish, porridge of manioc and manioc bread, it is the ceremonial food par excellence. The pequi is eaten raw, roasted, or diluted in the manioc porridge.
