About this product
A teaspoon in a glass of juice, and the first sip makes you blink. Camu camu is a small red fruit, freeze-dried whole and milled fine to a pale rose-tan powder, sharp on the tongue and closer to sherbet or an under-ripe cranberry than anything conventionally sweet. Freeze-drying keeps its blush color; spray-dried versions turn a duller brown and lose much of their bite.
The shrub grows wild along the flooded riverbanks of the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon, standing in water for months each year, and its fruit is gathered by canoe as it ripens toward the surface. It is prized for its exceptionally dense vitamin C. Ours is the whole fruit, not isolated ascorbic acid, from a small growers' cooperative in the Loreto region whose members still harvest by hand from the water.

How to use
Stir a teaspoon into water or juice; that is plenty. The tartness wants a little sweetness beside it, so pair it with mango, pineapple or a spoon of honey.
A sharp red berry from the flooded forest, for your morning glass.
