What is Acai Berry?

Author: admin

Acai berry is the most nutritious fruit or food item on earth as rated by world famous dietician Dr. Perricone. Acai berry is a grape like fruit grown in the rainforests of South America. The palm trees of Acai berry are as high as 60 feet. Unfortunately the shelf life of Acai berry is very short i.e. less than 24 hours. This is the reason, it is not possible to get fresh Acai berry anywhere else except the rainforests where is grown

Acai berry is harvested twice a year. Incidentally the palm trees on which we find Acai berry cannot be grown anywhere else because of special climatic condition of the rainforests of Brazil. Some experiments of growing it somewhere else have also been successful but nutritional value of those acai berries could not match that of original Brazilian acai.

Acai berry though very popular among Brazilians, got noticed by the western world recently when its ability to be absorbed by the human body was found. As it is consumed, its anti oxidants are also absorbed quickly which is highly beneficial for various health conditions. Human body keeps damaging free radicals as a result of which aging occurs. This free radical loss is replenished by the antioxidants we consume in different forms. Acai berry being a rich source of anti oxidant helps us delay this aging process.

Apart from acting as an anti aging fruit, acai berry has various other miraculous properties. Its ability to help us lose weight without too much is the reason it has become a major ingredient of almost all the health supplements. It is freeze dried after being plucked from the tree and sent to processing units. Freeze drying is a technique of retaining its nutritional value so that it can be packaged for consumers.

It is available in powder, pulp and capsule forms produced by different brands. It is up to you to decide which form suits you the best. It is offered for free trial by many manufacturers. You can go for the trial offer and see the effect of this wonder fruit for yourself.
