The camu camu shrub is closely related to the rumberry, also known as a guavaberry. Due to its high Vitamin C content, the fruit has an excessively sour taste, which is why it is usually consumed as a powder mixed in smoothies and juices. This is an organic ascorbic acid powder from the camu camu berry, A superfood berry and chalk full of phytonutrients.
