Camu Camu
Camu Camu is a small, sour fruit native to the Amazon rainforest, particularly found in Peru and Brazil. It grows on a bush and is known for its high vitamin C content, which is significantly greater than that of oranges. The fruit is typically harvested during the rainy season and is often used in dietary supplements, juices, and smoothies.
The flavor of Camu Camu is tart and tangy, making it less popular for fresh consumption. Instead, it is commonly processed into powders or extracts, which can be added to various foods and beverages. Its potential health benefits include antioxidant properties and immune system support.
