Acai berries are touted to be the No.1 super food around the world as they are known to be the power house of nutrients. These tiny dark purple berries grow on the Acai palm trees in rainforest of Brazil.
Acai berry (pronounced as ah-sigh-ee) was not heard so much until Dr. Perricone proclaimed it to be a super food on Oprah’s talk show.
Why are Acai berries the no.1 super food?
1. The anti-oxidant level of Acai is 10 times that of grapes and twice that of blueberries.
2. The berries have 10-30 times the anthocyanins of red wine.
3. The berries are rich in amino acids and proteins.
4. Acai has amazing 44.2 grams of fiber per 100 grams of Acai.
5. The berries are a great source of vitamins and minerals.
6.They are also rich in Omega fats, ie healthy fat.
What this means is that, a handful of Acai berries is supposed to give you a strong immune system, rejuvenate your mind and body, give you a healthy, glowing skin and hair, and increase your energy, libido and stamina.
Where can you buy them? Unfortunately fresh Acai berries are available only in the Amazon rainforest and these fruits can be consumed within 24 hours of picking them or they perish. But you can enjoy the goodness of Acai in the form of frozen pulp, and freeze dried Acai powder.
Now that the secret is out, why don’t you try some recipes of the Acai berries and enjoy a super duper health?
