#westindiancherry

Barbados cherry, West Indian cherry, wild crepe myrtle and seriz (Haitian Creole) although these tasted a lot different, sweeter, then the ones I’m used to eating in Haiti. The fruit is edible and widely consumed in the species' native area, and is cultivated elsewhere for its high vitamin C content. About 1677 mg of vitamin C are in 100 g of fruit. The fruit can be used to make juices and pulps, vitamin C concentrate, and baby food, among other things. Contains the highest amount of antioxidants in comparison to many other fruits. ・・・ #growninhaiti #barbadoscherry #ceriz #acerolacherry #westindiancherry #haiti #ayiti #genetics #diversity #foodforest #agroforestry #organic #foodsecurity #seedsovereignty #nursery #reforestation https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kP-iKFUyZ/?igshid=1qhoeniiabrlk

These bright-red fruits are not only my favourite fast food but they're one of the Caribbean's secret in health defense. These small berries are not only rich in vitamins C & A but have small amounts of B vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, zinc and iron as well. With a resume like that you automatically know it will be good at reducing inflammation, supporting the Immune System, preventing free radical damage, protecting the heart and brain, supporting skin and eye health, and improving digestive and metabolic function. #WestIndianCherry #West_Indian_Cherry #caribbeanfruits #westindies #caribbean #trinidad #cherry #love #Trinidad #cherries #food #fruit #nature #red #dessert #yummy #foodporn #like #sweet #tart #sour #instagood #Acerola Free Radical prevention https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29895343/ Studies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4807388/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvKaJMpLKa/?igshid=qt9idaoj7vsb
