[3] Unlike other Jabuticabas the fruits of Plinia peruviana are connected to the tree by long stems, resembling cherries.

[6] Studies have found that the jaboticaba fruit can serve as a wound healing agent on L929 fibroblasts cell line, likely due to its antioxidant activity.

[citation needed] It has also been found that extracts of the jaboticaba's peel can enrich cows milk with phenolic compounds.

[8] Enrichment of human consumed cow milk may aid in delivering antioxidants to the general population.

[citation needed] Extract from the fruit peel has been shown to be antifungal[9] and protect against copper toxicity.
