Acerola – The Vitamin C Diva

This unusual fruit is native to Central and South America and is one of the most vitamin C-rich fruits in the world (30 times higher than a lemon) and, by the way, is not a cherry. The indigenous people of the Amazon region and Central America gave the plant the name “tree of health”. Why you never see this gold piece in supermarkets? Due to its high sensitivity, the fruit has a shelf life of only a few days and wouldnot survive transport to us.
