Hi,
I found that it is either translated as "cupuacu" or as "white cocoa tree," but I would like to verify this.
The source text is a list of products and then there are descriptions and list of food products in which they are used.
This is a tree that belongs to the same family as the cacao tree. The fruit is renowned for its vitamin A, pectin, etc.
Thanks,
Patricia

Cupuaçu - do not translate
I would advise you not to translate this word.
It is spelt with a 'ç' cedilla, too.
My opinion - best of luck.
