Medicinal properties

Acerola can rightly be considered a true vitamin bomb. With an average of 17,000 milligrams of vitamin C per 100g - about 30 times more than oranges - the acerola fruit is the absolute star among vitamin C suppliers.
Especially when the days are getting shorter and shorter and we are surrounded by colds and flu waves, the acerola fruit is ideal for strengthening our body's defenses. In addition, vitamin C supports healthy joints, helps strengthen the cardiovascular system, improves the appearance of the skin, helps with increased stress, supports collagen formation and ensures a functioning nervous system. Smokers also benefit from taking vitamin C.
Due to the antioxidant effect of acerola, our cells are also protected from free radicals, which positively influences our metabolic and growth processes.

Application

The acerola fruit is perishable and not suitable for transport. For this reason, it is rarely found fresh in Germany, but in the form of juices, fruit powder or lozenges. The powder can be conveniently stirred into water, smoothies, juices or almond milk. Alternatively, you can use the powder to refine their cake batter or homemade chocolate.
