Acai Super Fruit from the Amazon Now Available in the West
The berries of the South American acai are small and round and grow deep in the Amazon rain forests. Natives have harvested these small fruits by hand and climbed the trees they grow on to do so. The clusters of fruit at the tree tops (a type of palm tree) do not appear that different from the purple grapes we have here.
The taste of acai berries is a delightful mixture described as a mixture of berries and dark chocolate. The berry is quite small, approximately an inch with relatively little pulp. The seeds take up most of the interior of the berry. The natives, the Caboclo people of the Brazilian Amazon, harvest the berries for food and have enjoyed the many health benefits for centuries.
This amazing fruit makes up fifty percent of the native food intake. The acai berry is given the title of a "miniature super fruit." It's a fact that this fruit has the ability to provide people with great levels of energy and promotes overall health and strength. Many believe that it has the ability to control weight and native people consider these super berries to give users strong hearts, clear minds and long lives.
The pulp and juice of the acai are used to create juices and some other drinks. You will find these drinks popular in Brazil and Peru and more recently in Western countries. Brazilians eat the fresh fruit and sometimes have the fruit mashed in with tapioca, sugar and honey. It has also been mixed with granola and put into ice cream. The results of extraordinary benefits have been reported for decades throughout South America and have more recently been confirmed by others.
Acai berries contain a remarkable amount of healthy fats, and it's for this reason they are a incredibly perishable food. Because of this in Western countries acai is enjoyed in yogurts, juices and a healthy energy drink. It's available as fruit pulp frozen or as a freeze-dried powder. To eat the actual fruit of the berry requires you to be in close proximity to where it was harvested.
The acai berries contain anthocyanins and resveratrol which studies have shown to have a number of benefits to the human body. One such benefit is the fact that antioxidant levels in the blood stream increase significantly. This increase occurs within two hours of drinking something with acai pulp or juice in it. The boost in antioxidants improves the ability of the body to fight free radicals which attack healthy cells.
There are also ongoing studies that suggest that this fruit is good for the heart and blood circulation. Other studies are showing great promise that active ingredients in the berry may even be useful for fighting certain cancers.
For Australians and others who live and play at a fast pace, this fruit is able to provide energy whilst also providing other health benefits.
The energy levels and endurance experienced have turned a number of high profile sporting figures into serious proponents of the acai berry. People living athletic lives such as runners, swimmers and others who enjoy the outdoor life will find this supplement gives them all the energy they need to really enjoy their healthy and active life style. - 17274
