Acerola can replace lemon juice in a creative, vitamin-rich salad dressing.
In a food processor, blend 150g pitted dates, 80g almonds, 2 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 generous tbsp acerola powder. Press into a dish and chill for 2 hours before slicing into bars.
Dilute 1 tbsp acerola powder and 2 tbsp cane sugar in one liter of cold mineral water. Add ice cubes, lime slices and lightly crushed fresh mint leaves.
Natural vitamin C in acerola increases non-heme iron (plant iron) absorption threefold. Enjoy an acerola drink during meals rich in spirulina, spinach, lentils or pumpkin seeds.
Pure acerola is highly hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air). Always reseal the airtight bag immediately after use and store in a dry place away from light and heat.
Acerola comes from a shrub called the acerola tree, which produces a fruit known as the acerola cherry. This cherry possesses a rare nutritional composition, similar to acai berries or camu-camu. It contains up to 100 times more vitamin C than an orange, and 10 times more than a guava.
The acerola tree belongs to the Malpighiaceae family and grows between 5 and 15 meters tall. Featuring evergreen foliage, it grows spontaneously in tropical and subtropical regions (Cerrado, Pará, Minas Gerais, Amazon), under an average climate of 26°C. The acerola flower has a beautiful bright red color which you can see on our YouTube channel.
The cherry has a juicy pulp, acidic or sweet depending on the variety. However, its shelf life is very short: in less than a week, it spoils. This is why it must be processed into powder very quickly to preserve its vitamin C content. In Brazil, you can consume it fresh, in juice, or in powder form, like the one we offer.
This acerola tree produces yellow-reddish fruits when ripe. Recommended for home gardens, this variety is easy to maintain and offers an incredible flavor for fresh fruit juices.
The fruits are identical to Manoa Sweet, but the shrub grows up to 5 meters high. It is one of the largest acerola trees in Brazil.
This single-trunk acerola tree is ideal for producing fresh fruit sold as table cherries.
An acerola tree with low, compact branches, offering high density and very high productivity. The fruits are reddish-orange.
A very productive shrub but with lower vitamin C content. The cherries are very large, turning from orange to dark red when fully ripe.
This variety is best suited to drier regions, particularly in Northeastern Brazil. Its medium-sized fruits are purple-red.

Acerola is a real treasure. The fruit contains 20 to 30 times more vitamin C than an orange (1,000 mg to 2,000 mg per 100 g), placing it just behind Camu Camu. Acerola powder is also rich in vitamins B and A, as well as flavonoids and essential minerals (iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium).

It's a perfect natural stimulant to boost collagen production. Acerola is also recognized as a powerful antioxidant capable of detoxifying and remineralizing the skin (you can also integrate the powder into your homemade cosmetic creams).
Did you know that the greener the cherry, the richer it is in vitamin C? This small, tangy red and green fruit is renowned for reducing fatigue and stimulating the body's natural defenses, making it particularly effective during the winter season.
After analyzing scientific data, EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and the European Commission determined that products containing at least 12 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, 100 ml or per package can claim to contribute to: normal collagen formation, normal energy metabolism, nervous system functioning, immune system support, fatigue reduction, vitamin E regeneration, digestive iron absorption, and cellular antioxidant protection.
Today, there is no scientific study determining an exact, universal dosage. Your body naturally eliminates excess vitamin C. Consuming 3g per day of acerola pulp is more than enough to cover your daily needs without any risk of overdose.
Taking acerola powder as a dietary supplement:
We advise diluting 1 teaspoon in orange or apple juice. You can also dilute 3 teaspoons in a bottle of water to drink throughout the day for a continuous supply of natural vitamin C.
It is also possible to use acerola powder in creative cooking. But beware: never heat your acerola above 35°C so as not to destroy the vitamin C! Instead, make a delicious acai bowl and discover what acai is at the same time.
