The acerola fruit grows mainly in South America. Because of its similar appearance, the acerola is often referred to as a cherry, although it has absolutely nothing to do with it. The acerola fruit has one of the highest known vitamin C contents of any fruit. In the fruit we process, this stands at 17%.
Vitamin C can have a supportive effect on many health issues. Here are the ones that, according to Health Claims,
contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the nervous system
contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones and cartilage
contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of gums, skin and teeth
contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
contributes to normal psychological function
helps protect cells from oxidative stress
contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E
increases iron absorption
The berry has a slightly tart and slightly sour taste. Acerola powder tastes particularly good in apple, grape or orange juice. Acerola powder is also suitable for cooking, e.g. in desserts or as an ingredient in game dishes.
