Acerola is a fruit from a shrub and is native to tropical areas in South America & the Caribbean. The species considered from a botanical point of view is acerola 'Malpighia glabra'. This evergreen shrub grows multiple small flowers. In its place grow small 1 to 2 centimetres in diameter ovoid fruits. Acerola strongly resembles cherries, giving it the nick name "Barbadoscherry", "Antilles cherry” or "country-cherry”. This small fruit with a tangy taste is harvested green or when ripe (it becomes red). This harvest choice depends on the period when it concentrates the maximum of vitamin C.
For the best varieties, vitamin C content represents more than 2.5% of the weight of the fruit compared to a peeled orange which contains just 0.05%. See all our references below:
