Pili: This one is called Chuza... Caraguatá Chuza because it has thorns like this here, which it uses as a chuza like a spear to stick into you. And on this side we have the Caraguatá, the hook, this one can be seen to have had a fruit, it is not there now if we would not have eaten it. This one has a hook and counter hook, this is the most dangerous slam dunk! This is to make "la piola" la piola without salt if you make it with quality, it is dry, like me, here is the fiber, yes, this is the one that is used. This is the caraguatá, cara is because it scratches you and guatá because it grows its roots and goes out there and from there it goes there, the root goes down and the root is a thick piola that... Toto: It's like the chute (Pili says Yute) everything is beaten and the shell comes out separately and the piola remains inside, it is washed and made [...]Pili: That is the caraguatá chuza and this is the caraguatanu and the difference is the... This one only has a thorn only at the tip and this one has it on the sides and that one doesn't have fiber like this one, this one has a lot of fiber. Aída: but do they both have fruit? Pili: not that one, no, that one has a flower, just that one has a fruit, it is an acidic fruit that if you grab the part of your lips it is like a small pineapple and they have an acid on the outside that if you want it like that directly, you will It takes out all the sores, you have to open it and eat it inside without touching the milk on the outside, yes.

Pili: Este se llama Chuza... Caraguatá Chuza porque tiene una espinas asi acá, que utiliza como la chuza como la lanza te hinca esto. Y por este lado tenemos el Caraguatá, el gancho, este se ve que tuvo una fruta, no esta ahora sino lo hubieramos comido. Este tiene gancho y contra gancho, este es el más peligroso hinca de lo lindo! Este es para hacer "la piola" la piola sin sal si vos lo sacas con calidad, esta seco, como yo, aca esta la fibra, si, este es el que se usa. Este es el caraguatá, cara es por lo que te raspa y guatá porque larga sus raices y va sale allá y de ahi va pa allá, la raiz va por abajo y la raiz es una piola gruesa que... Toto: Es como el chute (Pili dice Yute) se golpea todo y sale la cascara aparte y la piola queda adentro, se lava y se hace [...]Pili: Aquel es el caraguatá chuza y este es el caraguatanu y la diferencia es la... este solo tiene espina solamente en la punta y esta tiene en los costados y aquel no tiene fibra como este, este tiene mucha fibra. Aída: pero los dos tienen fruta? Pili: no ese, no, ese tiene flor nomás aquel tiene tiene fruta, es una fruta acida que si te agarra la parte de los labios tiene como un ananá pequeño y tienen un acido por fuera que si vos lo querés como así directamente, te saca todo llaga, tenés que abrirlo y comerlo adentro sin que te toque la leche que tiene afuera, si.
