Guaraná is a creeping
shrub native to the Amazon (and particularly the regions of Manaus and Parintins).
In the lushness of the Brazilian Amazon where it originates, it often grows to
12 m high. The fruit is small, round, bright-red in color, and grows in
clusters. As it ripens, the fruit splits and a black seed emerges - giving it
the appearance of an "eye" about which Indians tell legends.
