Juices A-C Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text There is a juice counter near one of the downtown subway stations in Rio (Metro Carioca), which seems to have the longest list of fresh juices that I've seen so far - I counted 51 today. When I see a list like that, I always have hard time picking something - despite the fact that I usually essentially pick something randomly, since there is no information to guide the selection. Looking at this list of 51 today I had a flash of insight: I will start going down the list in alphabetical order. A bit like the [Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged](http://www.psychcentral.com/psypsych/Humma_Kavula#Wowbagger.2C_the_Infinitely_Prolonged). I decided to use the list I saw today as the master list and wrote down the first 17 juices (there were three columns of 17). Here is the list with my ratings and some notes: - [açaí](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=açaí) - tried many time before, really good - ***** - abacaxi - pine-apple, can get anywhere - *** - acabate - blended avocado (tried already, sometimes good, always strange) - *** - [acerola](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=acerola) - tried before, generic sour until you add sugar - ** - [ameixa](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=ameixa) - plum, tried today, generic sour - ** - [amora](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=amora) - blackberry (never had as a juice) - [araçá](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=araçá) - next on the list - [bacuri](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=bacuri) - coming up - banana com aveia - banana with oats - beterraba - beet juice - ** - [cacau](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=cacau) - cacao juice, interesting taste - **** - [carambola](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=carambola) - star fruit, never tried as a juice - [cajá](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=cajá) - coming up - [caju](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caju) - cachew juice, peculiar taste but not for everyone - *** - [camu-camu](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=camu-camu) - coming up - [caquí](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=caquí) - parsimon, haven't tried as a juice - cenoura - carrot juice (you can get that in CA) - * I am rating the juices on a 5 point scale, setting fresh-squized orange juice at *** ("good"). So, **** and ***** mean better than that, ** means "ok" and * means I don't like it. So, skipping the ones I had before, I got "ameixa" today. It turned out to have a generic sour taste, corrected with a bit of sugar. As I also discovered later, "ameixa" is just the word for plum, and "amora" (the next on the list) is just blackberry. However, [araçá](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=araçá), [bacuri](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=bacuri), [cajá](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=cajá) and [camu-camu](http://images.google.com.br/images?q=camu-camu) apear to be bona fide Latin America-only fruits, so they are next.
