Our latest adventure saw our hero introduced to the juice of the
[acerola](http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/acerola.html) plant by Kiko and
Johan. The juice was served mixed with orange juice and the result was
very tasty indeed. Here is a bit of information about the acerola fruit:

<blockquote>
Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are
bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, easily bruised. The
pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a
delicate flavor and apple notes. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up
to 4,000 mg per 100 g fresh weight, but typically around 1,500 mg C.
Green fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits.

Also our intrepid hero was told of the meaning of the word ‘salgado’ —
It apparently means (variously) ‘salty’, ‘savoury’ or ‘snack’. Yum.
