Well, if you haven´t heard about this fruit yet, it´s time you track it down and try it. It looks very much like cherries but they are a little softer and have a more citrus taste. They are native to South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
This fruit is different from the rest because it is said to contain more than 65% more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and potassium among other nutrients. How can such a little thing be so potent? In many parts of the world acerolas are used as anti inflammatory, astringents, fungecide and much, much more.
Ask your local grocer where you can get some and start to enjoy the benefits today.
