Acerola Cherry Freeze-Dried Powder, A Natural Plant Source of Vitamin C
SKU: FOOD PRODUCTS.:Acerola Cherry Powder
|
Overview
Raw Acerola Cherry is well known for its exceptional vitamin C content. The vitamin C content of one Acerola cherry is generally 65 times higher than what is found in an orange, making it equal to the minimum daily requirement. Vitamin C has been shown to possibly support a healthy immune system response and the regeneration of tissue. Acerola cherries may also be useful for supporting healthy cellular aging.*
One serving of this freeze-dried Acerola Cherry Powder contains 495mg of Vitamin C. Each 8 oz. bag contains 68 servings.
Acerola cherry powder contains other vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, folate, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and traces of iron, copper, zinc and selenium. Vitamin A may support a healthy skin and eyesight. In addition, the potassium found in this superfood may promote healthy heart function, as well as supporting other muscles too. The folate found in acerola powder potentially supports healthy cellular growth, as well.*
Wildcrafted raw, ripe, acerola cherries are an excellent source of powerful antioxidants, carotenoids, and flavonoids. Researchers have found that the anthocyanins found in ripe Acerola cherries are a major factor in their potentially strong health benefits. Anthocyanins may have the ability to support a healthy inflammation response, as well as maintaining health in other ways. Scientists continue to research this intriguing fruit. Botanical Name: Malpighia Emarginata. Other Names: Barbados Cherry, West Indian Cherry.

Freeze-drying is recognized as the best drying process to preserve the nutrients in foods by using a low-temperature, low oxygen-exposure process. The Acerola fruit is concentrated in its freeze-dried form, and Vitamin C well-preserved. Vitamin C is a heat-sensitive nutrient. (By choosng freeze-drying instead of a spray-dried powder, we could preserve the nutrients and avoid the large amounts of additional ingredients which are often added during spray-drying, such as maltodextrin or whey protein isolate.)
