Caiçuma (Amazonian peach-palm, manioc, banana or maize drink)caiçuma
Caiçuma is a thick, cloudy fermented drink that Amazonian indigenous peoples make from starchy food. The best-documented version uses peach palm fruit (pupunha); others use manioc, banana or maize. Natural fermentation leaves it weak, about 1.5 % alcohol in one report, and full of pulp.

Recipe
No fixed amounts recordedNo fixed household amounts are published. The only amounts are from the INPA laboratory version, which used 1 kg of cooked, pulped fruit with 4 litres of sucrose syrup (Andrade 2003).
Peach palm fruit (pupunha), tops and bases cut off
Cutting the ends lets fat escape into the cooking water, which is thrown away[andrade2003]
No added yeast
The drink ferments naturally. The INPA laboratory version added dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1 %) and sucrose syrup[andrade2003]

Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Raw peach palm irritates the mouth, so the fruit is only used cooked. Cooking partly breaks down the starch; the base and tip are cut off first so fat leaves with the cooking water. Output: cooked fruit.

Caiçuma is a thick, cloudy fermented drink that Amazonian indigenous peoples make from starchy food. The best-documented version uses peach palm fruit (pupunha); others use manioc, banana or maize. Natural fermentation leaves it weak, about 1.5 % alcohol in one report, and full of pulp. Saccharomyces cerevisiae does most of the fermenting.
Caiçuma is the Amazonian name for the cloudy, pulp-rich fermented drink of peach palm. Unlike the INPA laboratory version it is not clarified or filtered, so the pulp stays in the cup.
Pano caiçumaMade from manioc, banana or maize by Pano-speaking peoples, including the Puyanawa (pt WP).
Clarified peach-palm beverage (INPA)A lab version with added sucrose syrup and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, peach palm cooked 2 h 30 min at about 100 °C, then fermented 7 days at 27 ± 1 °C to 12.1 % (v/v), clear and light orange.
Safety
No safety information specific to caiçuma was found. Raw peach palm fruit irritates the mouth, so it is eaten and used only after cooking (Andrade 2003). Manioc versions carry cassava's cyanide hazard. Boiling does not reliably remove it, and our sources do not say how these makers treat the root.
An anthropological study describes fermented caiçuma, made by women, as one of the main drivers of social life, prominent at a girls' initiation festival.
