Acerola powder 250g - VIVIO

Acerola has been known on the Polish market for a relatively short time. Nevertheless, it is constantly of interest to health and nutrition specialists. This plant belongs to the fruit of the Malpighian family. Due to its intense red color, acerola is often called the Barbados cherry or the pomegranate star. In natural conditions, this plant is found in South, Central, and parts of North America. However, it is also widely cultivated in other countries with tropical climates (e.g., Madagascar) . Acerola is a low, spreading shrub with evergreen leaves. It usually reaches a height of 2 or even 3 meters and is also characterized by extremely flexible twigs. However, it is worth knowing that the only useful part of this plant is its fruit. Their shape and color may remind us of the well-known cherries. Acerola fruits are slightly flattened red drupes, 1 to 3 centimeters in diameter. They are characterized by their clean flesh and extremely intense acidic flavor. Although acerola fruits can be eaten raw, they are more commonly found in the form of jams, juices, or powders.
The important fact is that this plant is an excellent source of vitamin C. It turns out that from just 100 grams of this fruit, we can get up to 1677 milligrams of the said vitamin. In addition, Barbados cherries contain valuable antioxidants and carotenoids (including beta-carotene) . In addition, acerola is an excellent source of provitamin A and essential amino acids, among which we can distinguish: alanine, proline, serine and aspartic acid. In Polish stores, acerola fruits are most often available in the form of a convenient powder, ideal as a supplement for a balanced diet.
