Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia) is a round or oval cherry-like fruit measuring between 1 and 3 cm in diameter. When ripe, it turns bright red, while its flesh is soft, juicy, slightly tart, and yellow in color. It is also known as Barbados cherry, tropical cherry, or Puerto Rican cherry.

It is believed that acerola originates from the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. After its discovery, it was cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The plant is a large, dense shrub that can reach up to 4.5 meters in height. Although it thrives in low and rainy areas, it is also resistant to drought. Acerola plants require protection from strong winds due to their shallow root system, which makes them susceptible to being uprooted. The Barbados cherry begins to bear fruit 2 to 3 years after sprouting. Since about 90% of the flowers fall during blooming, the natural fruit yield is quite low.

The fruit contains one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamin C-up to one hundred times more than oranges. Acerola is also a good source of vitamin A (beta-carotene).

Benefits of Acerola:

Antioxidant
Acerola powder contains exceptionally high levels of vitamin C and quercetin - two powerful antioxidants with numerous health benefits. Antioxidants help neutralize the effects of free radicals and toxins that cause cellular damage and contribute to various diseases. Acerola supports the immune system in fighting illness.

Cancer prevention
The vitamin C and quercetin found in acerola possess anti-carcinogenic properties. Acerola extract has shown protective effects against lung cancer.

Acerola and diabetes
The antioxidants in acerola support healthy blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar contributes to proper insulin regulation, and acerola may help reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

Anemia
Acerola supports the formation of red blood cells, which helps in managing anemia. It improves circulation, promoting the even distribution of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. It supports capillary function, healthy blood flow, and overall cardiovascular wellbeing.

Detoxification
Acerola is a natural chelating agent that binds harmful molecules and helps eliminate them from the body. It provides protection against environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and radiation exposure. It has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and may help prevent symptoms of fever and colds. Acerola powder has shown benefits in managing rheumatism and arthritis, supports bone strength due to its mineral content, and promotes joint health. It also supports blood clotting, wound healing, and bruise recovery. Its role in collagen formation contributes to healthy skin and connective tissue and may offer protection against certain infections.

Skin benefits
Acerola powder is used in many topical ointments and cosmetic creams. Its natural vitamin C content supports the formation of collagen and fibrous tissue, essential for healthy skin.
