What is the Acai Berry?


The acai, pronounced: ah-sigh-EE, is a tiny, round and blackish violet berry. It looks similar to a grape, but is smaller and darker. It also has a large seed and less skin than a grape.

Acai is widely used in energy drinks, ice cream, energy bars with granola, and now it’s available in an organic, pure form. The acai is very rich in anthocyanin, an antioxidant substance that helps to fight cholesterol and destroy free radicals. The color of the acai berry is similar to the color of red wine, although the acai berry has 33 times more anthocyanins than the grape.

In addition to being considered one of the “richest foods in iron” the acai is also rich in fiber which makes it strongly recommended for the elderly and/or for people with problems in the digestive organs. The acai is considered one of the most nutritious fruits in Brazil and in the world.
