ACEROLA CHERRY EXTRACT: THE SUPERFRUIT THAT HAS 30 TIMES MORE VITAMIN C 

What is Acerola Cherry?

Unlike its distant cousins, acerola (pronounced oz-uh-row-la) cherries grow on a shrub that belongs to the Malpighiaceae plant family. Instead of pits, it contains edible seeds, making it more closely related to berries.

Like the acai berry, acerola is full of potent antioxidants known as anthocyanins which gives the superfruit its bright red color.

What does an acerola cherry taste like? It has a sweet but sharp taste, which is why it’s commonly used in syrups, jams and juices.

Acerola Cherry: A Powerful Source of Vitamin C?

Baobab isn’t the only superfruit known for it’s high vitamin C content! Acerola’s primary superpower is its high vitamin C content.

In a 2011 study published in “Food Chemistry,” scientists compared vitamin C content in various fruits. The winner? The acerola cherry, especially when grown organically — like the acerola cherry extract powder found in our Dielegance Biotechnology!

So how much vitamin C do acerola cherries contain? One cup of acerola cherries packs 1,700mg of vitamin C. You’d have to eat 16 cups of oranges to get that amount!

To put it in perspective, the recommended daily value of vitamin C for women is 75mg and 90mg for men. While you’d have to eat 1 cup of oranges to meet the RDV, you can get the same amount from just 3 acerola cherries.

Why the big fuss over vitamin C? Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient; the body doesn’t produce it on its own. That means you have to get it from your diet.

The best source of vitamin C is from fruits and vegetables, but most people turn to supplements. While supplements may help prevent deficiencies, they often contain synthetic ingredients which are usually derived from GMO corn.
Another reason why getting your vitamin C is better from whole foods: absorption! In fact, the vitamin C in acerola is better absorbed by human beings than synthetic ascorbic acid.

Where Can You Find Acerola Cherry?

Acerola is native to the Caribbean and primarily grows in warm, tropical parts of the world. (It’s also why it gets the nickname “the Barbados cherry.”) So unless you live in the Caribbean or in tropical climes, you probably won’t find any fresh acerola cherries at your local supermarket.

Because acerola cherries are highly perishable (the berries decompose within five days of harvest), you’re more likely to find it in powdered form.

Acerola cherry powder is one of the five ingredients in our Vitamin C Boost mix. Before they’re naturally dried, the berries are handpicked on a small organic farm in Brazil where harvesting this superfruit is their main source of income. So while you’re putting good food into your body, you can feel good about supporting these farmers and their families!

Because acerola is so high in vitamin C, just 1 tsp of our Vitamin C Boost mix contains the full daily recommended value of vitamin C! Not to mention it’s great for your skin, too.
