Acai Berry versus Pomegranate

By Carter Sinclair

Both pomegranates and the Acai berry are two power houses in the health and food industry. Both are extremely good for you and contain many vitamins and minerals. But which one is better? We're going to compare the two to help you decide for yourself.

Wearing the Red Trunks in the Far Corner We Have POMEGRANATE!

Native to Iran and northern India the pomegranate is a sweetish tart tasting fruit. Many legends say that Helen of Troy at the pomegranate to make her more beautiful in legends. Pomegranate is one of the healthiest fruits for you so there is some truth to that tale. The pomegranate has many benefits including:

* High levels of antioxidants (10500 ORAC Assay)

* Is rich in vitamin C, A, E and folic acid

* Reduces plaque in arteries and raises the levels of good cholesterol

* Prevents enzymes from damaging cartilage

* Battles cancer cells

* Slows aging down

Acai is up next, lets check out how it performs.

And Acai Berry In The Purple Trunks!

Native to the Amazon Rainforests Acai is a small purplish berry. It has exploded in popularity recently around the world. The flavor is a mixture between chocolate and berries. Acai has many benefits including:

* Has a very high antioxidant count (18,400 on ORAC)

* Essential fatty acid source

* Gives a long lasting boost of energy like that of coffee without the caffeine

* Fights cancer cells

* Slows down aging

* Contains high amounts of amino acids, fiber, and vitamins B, E, and C

Are these benefits enough to take down Pomegranate?

The Winner Is..

In a very close decision I have to give the win to the Acai berry. The determining factor is that Acai has a higher count of antioxidants (18,400 vs 10,500). Many of the benefits derived from these two fruits is based on their antioxidant power, so Acai takes that category hands down. The energy boost is very helpful for almost everyone, so that helps make it the more well-rounded superfood. The only edge pomegranates have is its ability to protect your cartilage and prevent arthritis. - 17274
