Açai berries have gained higher ground in the health world due to their natural power and pure potency. The açaí berry the for giving the people in the Amazon their strength and energy and keeping them healthy. Described as a complete food for it satisfies many daily requirements and makes for a balanced diet, açaí is probably one of the healthiest fruits on the planet. It may help your muscles, your heart, your digestion, and your energy levels. Açaí is fast becoming famous as a true superfruit as documentation grows on the acai berry pulp that is produced in the Amazon regions of Brazil. The acai fruit in whole is not directly edible since
it is 95% seed and too hard to take a bite. The fruits are first harvested by climbing the 50-80 foot palm trees that grow in the floodplains of the Amazon River, to retrieve the clusters of acai berries. From there, they are rushed to facilities that inspect, wash and soak the fruits so that the thin layer of edible fruit surrounding the seed can be removed and made into a pulp or as more commonly known in the U.S., an acai puree. This is a time-sensitive process as the fruits themselves decay rapidly and are only worthwhile for up to 72 hours after harvest. It is the puree produced that is the most nutritious format to get acai and the first step of all acai products (including juices and powders which are products made from reprocessing the acai puree). When frozen promptly, acai purees can be preserved for years and maintain high levels of antioxidants, omegas, and fiber, three synergistic cornerstones to a healthy diet. It is, however, the antioxidants of acai that garner so much attention. The most abundant form of antioxidants studied so far in acai is called anthocyanins, most commonly known for anti-aging properties related to overall heart health and brain health. In fact, the anthocyanins in red wine are responsible for the French paradox, in which the French are known for drinking red wine and eating a less than a healthy diet, yet they exhibit longer life expectancies than other regions that eat more healthy. As many of you already know, the best way to get açaí outside of the Amazon, where the acai grows, is a frozen açaí puree. The freezer acts as a preservative for the highly perishable açai, so no preservatives are needed. It's that pure and simple. Buy your acai the traditional way, as a puree in convenient frozen packs, never reprocessed into a powder or liquid. You can be guaranteed at least twice the antioxidants of leading acai juice blends. Try Amafruits Organic Acai packs, which contain only the finest quality, wild-harvested, organic açaí berries.
