Malphigia Emarginata, "Bajan
Cherry"
This little fruit has a wealth of value and is very popular in Barbados. Its juice is sold from
every corner of the Island and can be bought
in the form of a delicious drink which is most thirst quenching during hot sunny
days.
It is said that, "one glass of Bajan Cherry Juice contains as much vitamin C as seven glasses
of Orange juice".
