About Product
Acerola cherries (unripe) are native to South and Central America and the Caribbean, where they have been cultivated for centuries.
The unripe acerola cherry is a small, bright red fruit rich in unique components, specifically Vitamin C. It has been used for centuries as a tonic for various a wide range of issues.
In recent years, the powder form of unripe acerola cherry has become increasingly popular due to its quality nutrient content and ability to be incorporated into various dishes and beverages.
It is made by grinding the dried unripe acerola cherry into a fine powder, which can then be added to food and drinks to support quality nourishment.
Some research suggests that Unripe 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 teaspoon with juice and yogurt, or add to your favorite smoothie.
Mixing suggestion: Increase flavor and nutritional profile, combined with our organic Camu and Rosehip powders for a high test vitamin c.
