Never heard of acerola? That's no surprise, this small, red,
cherry like fruit, which is native to the West Indies and now grown primarily
in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, is harder to find in the United
States than a can of beef stew in a vegetarian's pantry.
That's unfortunate, because acerola happens to be the
richest natural source of vitamin C in the world. This means that this fruit
can benefit the body in a variety of ways, from fortifying the immune system to
helping prevent age related conditions like heart disease and cancer.
