The power of plants
Acerola is the fruit of a shrub naturally found in the forests of South America. This wild 'cherry' was an important food source for the Amazonian Indians and was commonly consumed by sailors on long journeys. Scientific interest in Acerola began to rise in the 1950s when studies revealed its incredibly high content of vitamin C, highlighting its nutritional value.
