Acerola cherries: a fruit right in vitamin C

Acerola cherries are a natural source of vitamin C. These small red berries are absolutely packed with vitamin C. Almost 30 to 40 times more than an orange! Because of their high vitamin C content, acerola cherries have significant health benefits.

• Due to their vitamin C content, acerola cherries contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. There's nothing like vitamin C for boosting your immune system!
   
• The vitamin C in acerola cherries is also an antioxidant. Just like vitamin E, selenium, and zinc, it has hugely beneficial antioxidant properties to help counter free radicals and the premature aging of cells.

• The vitamin C in acerola cherries also helps ward off winter slumps, promoting vigor and vitality. We could all use more energy and less fatigue!

What if we told you that the body needs a helping hand from time to time? Sometimes, you need some outside help when the body or mind is fatigued. Essential to our balance, it is important—and even recommended—to supplement with vitamin C year round.

 

 

 

Vitamin C plays multiple roles in our body. By activating our natural defenses, vitamin C provides our bodies with a feeling of well-being. To benefit from vitamin C, it is important to give our body enough of it. But how? Mainly through food!

 

 

How should we eat acerola cherries?

 

Like all “superfoods”, acerola cherries should not be cooked so that they retain all their beneficial nutrients.

You can enjoy the benefits and virtues of acerola cherries simply by eating them:

 

At breakfast:

You can eat fresh acerola cherries in a fruit salad. Be careful, because they keep fresh for only about 48 hours. Acerola cherries are most often found in a juice or powder form. This means that you can use it in a vitamin-rich juice. Another option is to eat acerola cherries whole in your cereal or oatmeal. Finally, to mix things up a bit, acerola cherries can be included in jams to add a hint of originality to traditional recipes.
