Discover the main foods at risk of extinction in the markets
Purple sweet potato
She is very forgetful and has a very restricted cultivation. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find this vegetable in places of sale, such as supermarkets.
Pitanga
Another food in declining production are pitangas, which despite flourishing in many Brazilian gardens, face problems regarding their transportation.
In this way, it becomes difficult for the fruit to move to points of sale and there is a drop in production in general.

Pinion
We also have the example of pine nuts. Also called araucaria seed, it is rich in carbohydrates and suffers from disappearance due to the exploitation of its wood.
The unbridled search for this raw material makes it increasingly difficult to find this option among Brazilian foods, in addition to making it more expensive to purchase.
Pink pepper and juçara palm
Pink pepper and juçara palm heart come from plants and trees in the Atlantic Forest regions. However, with the aggressive decline of this biome due to exploration, deforestation and fires, they are increasingly disappearing.
Pequi
This is currently located in an area with environmental degradation. Today there are cooperative movements to preserve food, but it is increasingly difficult to find.
Guava Smudge
The emblematic guava Smudge faces productive difficulties. For this reason, it has been silently replaced by industrialized options. This makes artisanal products increasingly rare in stores and supermarkets.
These foods may end up disappearing in a shorter period of time than we can imagine. It is necessary to protect the natural options and means of production of such products to have them on the table for longer.
