Botanical Source
Coniferous cherry is also called West Indian cherry. It is native to tropical America. The aborigines of the Caribbean Sea in the West Indies have cultivated and utilized it for hundreds of years. Later, it spread to Hawaii, India, and other countries in the world's tropical and subtropical regions through tropical America. Causal meat is very rich in vitamin C and is highly valued by countries in South North America, Central America, and the Caribbean Sea of the West Indies. In recent years, tropical areas such as Guangdong, Yunnan, and Taiwan have also begun to grow in large areas.

2. Plant morphology
It is an evergreen shrub with vigorous growth. The tree type opens into clumps. The trunk is light brown, and the tree's height is about 2m~3m. The main branches can be pruned to form small trees. The height of 10~12-year-old trees can reach more than 4m~5m. The leaves are opposite, single, obovate to long elliptic, sharp or occasionally obtuse at the apex, the petiole is very short about 0.2cm~0.4cm, the leaf base Chemicalbook is sharp or cuneiform, full edge, smooth and leathery, the upper surface is dark green, the back surface is shiny green, the new shoots are yellow-green, 4~6 pairs of leaf veins are feathery lateral veins, without stipules, the leaf length is 3cm~10cm, the leaf width is 1cm~5cm, the young leaves have white hairs, and become smooth after growing.

It is completely tasteless, with 5 petals and a corolla diameter of 1cm-1.5cm. The flower color ranges from light red and rose red to white. The flowering period is from March to November in central and southern Taiwan. After flowering, it bears fruit immediately, and the fruit ripens in 3-4 weeks. Some strains had self-incompatibility, which was an important factor for the low rate of flower falling and fruiting. The fruit is spherical or flat spherical, with three or more edges.

Function
1. Coniferous cherry is rich in vitamin C, which is the most abundant fruit in the world. The VC content in 100g fruit is 2445mg, which is much higher than 40mg of lemon, 68mg of citrus, and 100mg of kiwi fruit. The guava, which has been considered to have a very high vitamin C content, is only 180mg, which is truly the "king of vitamin C.".
2. At the same time, coniferous cherries also contain vitamins A, B1, B2, E, and P, niacin, anti-aging factor (SOD), calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, protein, and other nutrients, which are of high nutritional value, and have the reputation of "the fruit of life". Among them, vitamin P can prevent vitamin C from being damaged by oxidation and enhance the absorption and utilization of VC.
3. Acerola Cherry Extract is a good antioxidant, which can eliminate free radicals produced in human activities. However, natural VC also contains a variety of nutrients in addition to VC, which is absorbed slowly in the human body. Its concentration in the serum can maintain a high level for a long time, and its effect on the human body is incomparable to that of VC from other sources. Its unique anti-aging factor (SOD) - superoxide dismutase can effectively resist the invasion of foreign harmful substances and has the effect of delaying aging.
