What it is

Acerola cherry puree is made from acerola cherries, small, tart fruits native to South America and the Caribbean. The cherries are typically processed into a puree or juice to preserve their nutrients and flavor. It is a rich source of vitamin C.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add acerola cherry puree to foods and beverages primarily for its high vitamin C content and tart, fruity flavor. It is often found in fruit juices, smoothies, and other drinks, as well as in some jams and desserts. It can act as a natural source of vitamin C and a flavor enhancer.

Health notes

Acerola cherry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Its high vitamin C content contributes to its nutritional profile. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated acerola cherry extract. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming acerola cherry puree in typical amounts found in foods.

Allergen info

Acerola cherry puree is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
