Acai Berries appear resembling lavender grapes. And similar to grapes they have certain nutritional qualities and health benefits, but at remarkably higher levels than most fruits.
Acai Berries have long been primary to the natives of the Amazon Rainforests in Brazil. The Acai Berry seed makes up 80-90% of the fruit. The juice and pulp of the Acai Berry resulting from separating the pulp from the seed is popular in Brazil for usage in juice blends, smoothies, and even ice cream and liqueur.
Recently, Acai Berries are rapidly becoming popular worldwide. Acai Berries are filled with an amazing amount of antioxidants. Even ten times that of grapes and about two to four times that of blueberries. Besides, they are considered to have the best overall nutritional value of any fruit on Earth.
Acai Berries are enormously rich in vegetable protein, which not like animal protein, do not result in cholesterol and are easier to take in by the body. They are also full in carbohydrates which feed your body during actions like working out. They also contain very high amounts of essential fatty acids and omegas that reduce harmful cholesterol levels. The lavender color itself is not accidental. These are from anthocyanins, a kind of antioxidant that lends it its violet hue. Acai Berries in fact have 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than Red Wine in terms of volume! The amazingly high levels of antioxidants help fight free radicals and prevent premature aging.
So what exactly does its antioxidants and nutritional value help with anyway? Why is it becoming so popular? To put it simply, Acai Berries can improve digestion; help in losing weight; promote better sleep; reduce muscle fatigue and pain, increase energy and libido, fight cancer and illnesses, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune and cardiovascular system, and fight aging and inflammation.
You might have expected Acai Berries to taste like medicine, but no, Acai Berries have a noticeably tropical flavor that has been described as something between a blend of berries and chocolate. It truly is the number one super food of the world.
