Undoubtedly, you have heard about the benefits of the
acai berry. But what do you really know about this
magical little berry? What is it that gives it so many
health benefits? And is there scientific evidence to
back up the claims.
The acai berry comes from the acai palm tree (Euterpe
oleracea), which is native to Central and South
America. The actual berry is about an inch-long and
it is a reddish and purplish colored fruit. The acai
berry is a relative to the blueberries, cranberries
and other dark purple fruit. Like blueberries,
cranberries, grapes and other dark red to purple
fruits, the acai berry is loaded with antioxidants.
Some studies have show that the pulp of the acai berry
has an even higher antioxidant capacity than
blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries
and strawberries. Studies are continuing but more is
being learned about this powerful fruit every day.
