I think my camera is busted (or it's just my lack of photography prowess), they are looking pinkish in the photo, but it should be red
It is a Malpighia genus, but I don't know the exact species to be honest
Studies show it has around 1,000–4,500 mg, of vitamin C, per 100 grams of fresh fruit, which is around 50–100 times than that of orange or lemon
Re the photo quality: could be your lighting
I told my wife the vit C level and size of an individual fruit and she said exactly what I was thinking. "Depending on the person that means just one berry is enough to cause diarrhea."
That's a mighty powerful poo juicer.
Wonder if those would make a good cherry-ade, or if they'd be too tart to really get much flavor at the concentrations that are usable?
I've only eaten them in supplement but that looks tasty.
I read that as areola cherry...
I spent half my childhood in the carribean. These were everywhere and I ate so many of them. Us kids would stuff ourselves and not make a dent on how many there were.

Neat! I have tried way more types of fruit than most people but there always so many more I haven't yet. Are these available in a lot of tropical countries or if not where are they generally found? I've never seen them in the US.
