  • Our unripe, wildcrafted, organic, freeze-dried green Acerola Cherry Powder is the most potent form of Acerola available.
  • We use a freeze-drying process that is optimal for preserving its’ nutrients.
  • A single teaspoon of our organic unripe acerola cherry powder contains more than 1200% of the daily value for Vitamin C, making acerola cherries a fantastic addition to your daily superfood regimen..

Acerola is best eaten when it is green, as the vitamin content is highest before it fully ripens.
Traditionally acerola is picked manually during the coolest part of the day and has a 3-to-5-day grace period before beginning to go rancid.  For this reason, the freeze-drying process is most commonly used to preserve the fruit’s nutrient content. Generally, there are 3-5 harvests per year and the acerola tree usually take 3-5 years to bear fruit from the day the seed is planted. It will be highly productive for 15 to 20 years. The major part of the fruit’s vitamin constituents are lost as it ripens, for this reason, the acerola fruits are harvested while they are unripe and green.

The acerola fruit is about 1-3 cm and weighs an average of 4-6 grams. On average it takes about 25 days for the fruit to reach full ripeness. Acerola can be found growing wild and under cultivation on the sandy soils throughout northeastern Brazil. It is native to northern South America, Central America, and Jamaica.

Wildcrafted, organic, raw, unripe acerola cherries are a nourishing source of powerful antioxidants, carotenoids, and flavonoids

They are a healthy source of protein and mineral salts especially iron, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. Raw green acerola contains vitamin A, which may support healthy vision. In addition, the potassium found in this superfood may help support healthy blood pressure levels, heart function, and a positive mood. The folate found in our unripe raw acerola powder may support healthy cellular function, as well.

The green raw acerola cherry is well known for its exceptional vitamin C content
The content of one cherry is 120 times higher than what is found in an orange, making it equal to the minimum daily requirement. On average oranges provide 500 to 4,000 parts per million (ppm) of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, whereas acerola has been found in tests to provide ascorbic acid in a range of 16,000 to 172,000 ppm.

Organic acerola can contain up to 4.5% vitamin C, compared to 0.05% in a peeled orange. The vitamin C content of raw acerola varies depending on ripeness, season, climate, and locality. Vitamin C has been shown to possibly support a healthy immune system response and supports the regeneration of healthy tissue. Acerola cherries may also support the development of healthy cells thereby supporting a healthy aging process. In addition to its nourishing levels of the nutrients mentioned above, it also contains 150 other powerful constituents such as 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, dehydroascorbic acid, calcium, dextrose, diketogulonic acid, fructose, furfural, hexadecanoic acid, iron, limonene, l-malic acid, phosphorus, protein.

As the subject of much clinical research, acerola is traditionally consumed as a food, rather than used as an herbal remedy. In one in-vitro study, the leaves, bark, and fruit of acerola were reported to prevent the overgrowth of fungus. Newer findings support the fact that acerola may have the ability to potentiate the nourishing benefits and actions of other foods due to its extensive amount of constituents. In recent research focused on skin health, acerolas’ content of natural mineral salts that have shown to support the remineralization of tired and stressed skin, and its mucilage and proteins may, in fact, have skin-hydrating properties and support capillary conditioning.
