Acerola
Acerola
The fruit that has 80 times more Vitamin C than the orange, no wonder that Acerola is so sour but with a distinguished flavor and aroma. The Vitamin C content can reach up to 4000mg per 100g of the fresh fruit, but averages around 1500 mg. Immature fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits.
Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, thus easily bruised. The pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a delicate flavor and slight apple note.
