I think my camera is busted (or it’s just my lack of photography prowess), they are looking pinkish in the photo, but it should be red
It is a Malpighia genus, but I don’t know the exact species to be honest
Studies show it has around 1,000–4,500 mg, of vitamin C, per 100 grams of fresh fruit, which is around 50–100 times than that of orange or lemon


The effect of a vitamin C overdose is diarrhea. For an adult this usually kicks in at around 2000mg of vit C. For kids it’s less. But usually the time people consume that much vit C is when they are already sick and likely to have that symptom confused with part of the illness.
