is obtained by drying the whole fruit (seeds, flesh and skin) of the camu camu shrub (Myrciaria dubia) and then grinding it, making it an integral powder. The shrub is a plant species within the myrtle family and is native to the Amazon region. It is also known as Cacari or Aracaá de água.
Thanks to its high content of citric acid, the powder can be used to enrich juices, nectars, jams, ice cream and yoghurt.
