The Acai Super Fruit - Finally Available in the West
The South American acai berry is a small, round fruit, not so unlike our purple grapes. They grow deep in the Amazon rain forests and natives climb the tall trees to harvest these delicate berries by hand.
The taste of acai berries is a delightful mixture described as a mixture of berries and dark chocolate. The berry is quite small, approximately an inch with relatively little pulp. The seeds take up most of the interior of the berry. The natives, the Caboclo people of the Brazilian Amazon, harvest the berries for food and have enjoyed the many health benefits for centuries.
This one berry amazingly accounts for almost 50% of many natives' dietary intake. The Acai has gained a reputation as being a miniature super fruit. This stems from the fact that it is capable of providing people with great levels of energy and promoting health and overall strength in those who consume it. Some people also believe that it helps to control weight. Native people consider these super berries to give users strong hearts, clear minds and long lives.
The acai juice and pulp have been used in juice blends and other drinks throughout Peru and Brazil, but have only recently become available in Western countries. People in Brazil eat the fruit fresh but they also share the mashed fruit after it is mixed with tapioca, sugar, and honey. It can even be mixed with granola and added to ice cream. Numerous reports have been carried out in South America with results confirmed by others. These reports document the superior energy that people enjoy when they eat or drink something containing acai berries.
Acai berries contain a tremendous amount of healthy fats and it is for this reason that they are a very perishable food item. Western countries can enjoy acai in yogurts, juices, or as energy health drinks. It is also available as a frozen fruit pulp or a freeze-dried powder in areas that are some distance from where the berry is harvested.
The acai berries contain anthocyanins and resveratrol which studies have shown to have a number of benefits to the human body. One such benefit is the fact that antioxidant levels in the blood stream increase significantly. This increase occurs within two hours of drinking something with acai pulp or juice in it. The boost in antioxidants improves the ability of the body to fight free radicals which attack healthy cells.
There are also ongoing studies that suggest that this fruit is good for heart and blood circulation. Other studies are showing great promise that active ingredients in the berry may even be useful for fighting certain cancers.
Australians, and others, who live and play at a fast pace, often use this juice as a source of energy and reap other health benefits as well.
Increased energy levels and endurance is what many consumers are finding so wonderful about juice drinks that now contain acai. People who live athletic life styles like swimmers, runners, and other outdoors lovers will find this energy-producing supplement gives them all the energy they need to enjoy their healthy, active lives. - 17268
