Abstract The fruits of the vegetable species Garcinia gardneriana (Clusiaceae) were surveyed. This is a species known in the Bolivian Amazonian región under the common ñame of "Achachairú". The fruits were collected at Ixiamas, capital of the province Abel Iturralde, department of La Paz. In the investigation of the eatable part of the fruit pulp and shell, a bromatological preliminary study was carried out. The macro and micro nutrients were determined, as well as the taste of fruit [pulp] and the handmade elaborated product. A preliminary phytochemical study was also performed in fruits.
