Abstract: The research aimed to identify the native fruits of the territory of the Tremembé of Barra do Mundaú and its cultural value. Ethnography was adopted, involving field diary, interviews and participant observation. The main forms of use were food, handicrafts, medicinal and ritualistic, showing that the relevance of fruits goes beyond the nutritional aspect, being associated with traditional knowledge with several of their cultural and identity practices.
