The Acai Berry The Natural Energizer
Studies have shown how poorly nourished people are. It has lead to an explosion in the health and food industry. The Acai berry stands at the top of the ladder when it comes to the most healthy foods.
About 80% of the Acai fruit is made up of the seed, the fruit as a whole is about one inch in diameter and is very small. The berry is usually purple but sometimes the berry is green. While the berry is very healthy the seed offers no nutritional value and is often used for livestock feed or top soil.
It is the pulp and skin that are the most prized and most well known outside of their native habitat. This is what is what ends up in the various food items such as juices, yogurts, and ice creams as well as being sold dried or frozen. The reason why it is so eagerly sought after is due to the fact that it has one of the highest ORAC assay results ever recorded for a food.
The ORAC assay determines the ability of the antioxidants within a particular food to inhibit the effects and activities of free radicals. Acai berries scored over 1000 on this assay. This means that it is currently one of the most potent free radical fighting foods available. Current studies on Acai berries are finding more and more benefits such as fatty acids, amino acids, large quantities of nutrients that the body needs for increasing metabolic functions and for increasing energy.
Having an energy drink with Acai berries in it works to provide the body with even more energy than a cup of coffee and it has nutritional value that coffee does not have, making it possible for the energy to be longer lasting than you get from coffee or even from carbohydrate and sugar laced food.
The Acai berry is so versatile in that it tastes great in a number of different diet choices. It is a great addition to many different types of foods and has a taste that is a mix between chocolate and semi sweet berries. - 17274
