What is garambullos?

Garambullos are a type of fruit that comes from a plant known as Myrtillocactus geomentrizans, which is native to Mexico and parts of Central America. The fruit is small, round, and typically red or purple in color, resembling a small grape or berry.

Garambullos have a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, similar to that of a raspberry or blackberry. They are often used in traditional Mexican cuisine to make jams, jellies, and syrups, or eaten raw as a snack.

The plant itself is a type of cactus that grows in arid, desert-like conditions and produces spiny stems and small flowers. It is drought-resistant and can thrive in hot, dry climates, making it a popular plant for cultivation in regions with harsh growing conditions.

Garambullos are a good source of various nutrients, including vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants and fiber. They are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
