Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I’m sure that when you first heard of the Acai berry, you never thought that such a fruit ever existed. Well, it does. And it is currently believed to be the most interesting fruit in America.
Pronounced as “a-sigh-ee”, Acai berry is a small berry similar to a grape that grows in the Amazon rain forest of Brazil. It is about 90% seed and just 10% edible fruit which is harvested by the thousands. Natives of Brazil have long included this as part of their daily diet and it is only now that its popularity has reached other countries worldwide. After harvesting Acai berries, pulps are separated from the seed and then converted into a puree. It was called the “number one super food in the world” due to its nutritional value. This little berry is packed with great amounts of free-radical scavenging anti-oxidants. This made it one of the best overall fruits in the whole world.
Based on the ORAC (Oxygen Radiation Absorbency Capacity) tests, no other fruit comes close to the level of anti-oxidant contents of this fruit. No wonder Acai berry is very popular and is the number one fruit that most people find to cure their illnesses.
Just how powerful then is the Acai berry? Acai berry has these following effects to the human body.
• Boosts up libido
• Lessens pain and soreness
• Prevents heart disease
• Lowers blood pressure
• Helps in weight loss
• Boosts up energy and stamina
• Helps fight cancer and other diseases
• Helps one to have a healthy sleep
• Enhances the immune system
• Aids in digestion
• Fights aging and inflammation
Acai berry tastes good, too. Unlike most purees from other fruits which taste either sour or bitter, Acai berry has a flavor of blended berry and chocolate. Most people are drinking Acai berry puree for weight loss. Most companies have already thought of this idea and started to market fat loss supplements using Acai berry. People have found them to be very helpful in boosting metabolism and building muscle tone and suppressing appetite.
So are you thinking of having Acai berry in your backyard so you can enjoy the benefits of this great fruit at the convenience of your own home? Unfortunately, this fruit can only be found in the Amazon rain forests and once picked from the tree, it only has 24 hours before it gets spoiled. That’s why only the large companies are capable of harvesting the fruit and processing them to products like puree and diet supplements and sell them to the public.
