Acerola aka Barbados cherry is certainly one of my favorite snacks from the garden. 😋
The cherries are juicy, tangy, & sweet all at the same time (plus they have soft seeds, so you can sink your teeth right into them worry free) 😎
Let us also take a moment to appreciate her long fruiting season. These plants fruit on & off from spring until fall 🥹
With extremely high vitamin C content & plenty of antioxidants, these cherries are great for your immune system along with SO many other aspects of body function. 🍒
Typically you won’t find these cherries in stores because they perish quickly after harvest… 🤷♀️ HOWEVER if you’re a local here in central Florida you can most certainly grow them in your back yard or in a pot.🪴
Barbados cherries are currently in stock at the Sherwood Gardens nursery. 🙆🏼♀️
