Together with its exclusive brand partner Niagro, Bösch Boden Spies presents a new product: acerola puree with even more vitamin C. The new acerola puree from the world’s largest producer of acerola cherries contains 25 % more natural vitamin C than all previous varieties. It can be used in a variety of ways: for example, the ingredient adds an extra dose of vitamin C to ice cream, jams or fruit preparations for baked goods. The new product is 100 % natural. Like all of Bösch Boden Spies’ acerola products, the new fruit puree comes from Brazil. It is orange-red in colour and has the tartly fruity taste typical of ­acerola cherries. However, besides the vitamin boost, the acerola puree also imparts a subtly sour taste and a stable product colour. Acerola has other functional benefits as well: as the vitamin C champion of the fruit world, it is an ideal substitute for ­synthetic ascorbic acid E 300, because it minimizes oxidative processes in food. In addition, the fruit also contains large amounts of riboflavin, a substance that is important for metabolism.
