Acerola

The cost of Acerola varies significantly based on its form (fresh, powder, concentrate) and your location. Acerola is most commonly sold as a **powder or extract** due to its high Vitamin C content and quick perishability. Here is a general price range for the **Acerola Powder** product (the most widely available form): * **Acerola Cherry Powder/Extract:** Prices typically range from **\$14 to over \$60 per pound (or about $30 to over $130 per kilogram)**, depending on: * **Purity:** Organic, 100% pure, or freeze-dried versions are usually at the higher end. * **Concentration:** Extracts standardized for a high percentage of Vitamin C (e.g., 17% or 25% Vit. C) will cost more. * **Brand and Retailer:** Prices vary greatly between bulk wholesale suppliers and premium online retailers. **Fresh Acerola Fruit:** * Fresh fruit is **very difficult to find** outside of the tropical regions where it is grown (like the Caribbean and South America) because it spoils rapidly after harvest. * When available, the price can be high due to its scarcity, but specific retail prices for fresh fruit are not widely advertised because it is not a major global produce item. You are more likely to find **live acerola plants** for sale than fresh fruit.
