Lucuma grandiflora is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to eastern Bahia state of northeastern Brazil,[2] where it is native to coastal restinga forests.[1]

The seeds are large and quite unique with a glossy brown patch surrounded by a dull grey coating. This gives them their common name Eye of Tandera (Olho de Tandera). It is also known as the Bread of Christ (Pão de Cristo).
