Amazonian fruit Super Acai rich in antioxidants
Acai (pronounced: Ah-sah-ee) is a rainforest berry that grows on Euterpe
oleracea palm trees in the Amazon basin. This dark purple berry has a fruity
taste with a hint of chocolate. For centuries the local inhabitants have used
the berry as a staple part of their diet to boost energy levels, build the immune
system and support the body’s defences against pathogens.
Over the last decade the berry has become popular in the coastal cities of
Brazil, and acai smoothies are now central to Brazilian beach culture. In
particular, the berry is eaten by fitness enthusiasts and athletes for its
energising and detoxifying properties. Before long, Brazilians were exporting
acai either as a frozen pulp or dried.

With high levels of antioxidants and cholesterol-fighting fatty acids, the
Amazonian acai berry has been hailed as the new ‘superfood’. Manufacturers
are adding acai to food and drinks as part of a growing trend towards healthier
eating.
Acai is a rich source of a class of polyphenolic flavonoids called anthocyanins,
which are the same antioxidants that give wine its health benefits.

In summary, acai berries are high in antioxidants that protect the body against
free radical damage. The antioxidant compounds in acai are able to enter
human cells in a fully functional form and perform free radical scavenging
actions in human plasma. Acai has been valued as a superfood that contains
significant amounts of nutrients and supports the normalisation of health and
well being.
