About Product
Organic Freeze-Dried Acerola Cherry Powder (Malpighia emarginata) is sourced from Central and South America and carefully processed to preserve its natural composition. Acerola cherries are naturally high in vitamin C and contain plant-based compounds such as carotenoids and flavonoids, along with minerals including iron, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. The freeze-drying process helps maintain quality, making this powder a popular choice for smoothies, functional beverages, and other formulations.
Some research suggests that Acerola Cherries may contain the following constituents:
- Anthocyanins: Pelargonidin, Cyanidin
- Flavones: Apigenin, Luteolin
- Flavonols: Kaempferol, Myricetin, Quercetin
- Lipids: EPA, DPA, DHA
- Vitamins: Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folate DFE, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin A RAE, Retinol, Vitamin A IU
- Minerals: Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Copper, Selenium
Taste, smell, texture, and color may vary from batch to batch:
Due to its nature, this powder tends to clump. If clumping occurs, lay the bag on a flat surface and place a towel over the bag. Then pound on the bag until the clumps break up. The towel will help protect the bag from damage. To further reduce clumping, push as much air as possible before sealing the pouch and storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.
Suggested Use: Mix one tablespoon with juice and yogurt, or add to your favorite smoothie.
Mixing suggestion: To increase the flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic and Rosehip powders for a high test vitamin c.
