Acerola is the cherry-like fruit of an evergreen shrub that grows mostly in the warmer parts of South America. Though bite-sized, round, and red, these are not conventional cherries. In fact, they are not cherries at all. Acerola is a unique fruit, especially prized for its high vitamin C content. The Brazilian supplier of our Acerola Puree Packets harvests ripe, Organic Acerola then purees the fruit and strains out the seeds. They add nothing to the fruit. The result is a smooth, very tangy pulp that will add serious zip to your smoothies and juices. Not only that, it will add serious vitamin C to your diet. Each of our 3.5-ounce packets of frozen Unsweetened Organic Acerola Puree delivers a whopping 1180% of the daily recommended value of vitamin C!
