Açaí (pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’) Berries are small berries that look like purple grapes. And like grapes they have certain nutritional qualities and health benefits, but at amazingly higher levels that has gotten it hailed as the perfect fruit for mankind.

Acai Berries are actually from Açaí Berry Palms (Euterpe oleracea) which are endemic to the Amazon Rainforests of Brazil. They have long been staple to the natives of the region. The Acai Berry itself is what is called among botanists as a drupe. The seed makes up 80-90% of the fruit. The juice and pulp of the Acai Berry derived from separating the pulp from the seed is popular in Brazil for use in juice blends, smoothies, and even ice cream and liqueur.

Recently, Acai Berries are rapidly becoming popular internationally. With good reason. Acai Berries are packed with an awesome amount of antioxidants - ten times that of grapes and about two to four times that of blueberries. In addition, they are considered to have the best overall nutritional value of any fruit on Earth.

Acai Berries are extremely rich in vegetable protein, which unlike animal protein, do not result in cholesterol and are easier to absorb by the body. They are also rich in carbohydrates which fuel your body during activities like working out. They also contain very high amounts of essential fatty acids and omegas that lower harmful cholesterol levels. The purple color itself is not accidental. These are from anthocyanins, a kind of antioxidant that lends it its purple hue. Acai Berries actually have 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than Red Wine in terms of volume! The remarkably 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.

With all those benefits, you might expect Acai Berry to taste like medicine, huh? Actually no. Açaí Berries have a distinctly 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
