This Easter season, artisans have sold 400,000 specially-made Easter eggs from the northern Brazilian states of
Para and Amazonas. The chocolate eggs, bunnies and carrots are filled with Amazon fruits, like açai, banana,
bacuri, cashew, and cupuaçu. Though most orders will go to major cities in Brazil, a portion of the chocolates will also be exported. To add another Amazonian touch, the Indian tribe of the Baniwa wove baskets and local artisans made clay pots as packaging for the chocolates.
