Abstract: The cultivars ‘UNEMAT Implacável’ and ‘UNEMAT Pavoro’ exhibit high yield (7,610.30 kg ha⁻¹ and 5,435.74 kg ha⁻¹, respectively) and elevated polyphenol content (307.92 mg 100g⁻¹ and 310.87 mg 100g⁻¹, respectively). These traits support the sustainable production of functional foods, meeting the demands of competitive and high-value tropical markets.
