One of the best sources of natural vitamin C Acerola is also known as the Barbados cherry. It is renowned for its natural vitamin C content, up to 65 times that of oranges. Our wild crafted and organic raw ripe acerola cherries are an excellent source of powerful antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids. Our Acerola berries are grown and harvested in Brazil, which is one of the world's largest producers of Acerola. We harvest the berries when they are still green as this way they hold twice as much vitamin C as the ripened fruits. We then freeze dry the berries within 3 - 5 days to preserve as much of the nutritional content as possible. The berries are then milled to a fine powder, screened and then packed.
