Hi
Iam fan of Acerola fruit even though I have not felt it fresh. I firstly came across its sweet jelly in Intl.Food Sci & Technol. Soc. meeting 2004 conference in US at Brazilian stall. I would suggest its juice blending with watermelon juice at 12.5 brix or with also addition of pomegrane red juice.It will give a real juice also healthy prostate & other benefits. Any other help in this regard if required from me will be welcomed as I had worked on watermelon juice and its incorporation in other food systems. thanks
