Acerola

Acerola is a tropical evergreen tree native to Central and South America, mainly in the Antilles and Barbados, hence it is also sometimes called the Antillean/Barbados cherry. Nowadays, Acerola can be found in Asia, Africa and Australia. The tree is known and popular mainly for its fruits, which are produced after the red-pink flowers have bloomed. They resemble cherries but can be up to 3 cm in size. They are yellowish at first, gradually turning red. The colour is rich, the skin smooth and glossy. They can be eaten raw, cooked and made into sauces, juices, wines, jams and purees.
