Make Sure You Buy Quality Acai Berry Products

By Kathleen V Adams

A small, purple berry that is grown only in the rainforests of Brazil has been determined to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. The acai berry is brimming with vital antioxidants, essential fatty acids, tons of vitamins and minerals and even 19 amino acids. It is no wonder that this amazing little berry has become so popular with the health-conscious crowd.

Right now you can find a multitude of various acai berry products. There is everything from juice to powders to supplements created from the extract. There are many high quality products out there but beware of inferior products. There are tons of glitzy and glossy advertisements out there that promise great results but in order to receive all of the potential advantages from the acai berry you must be sure that you buy a quality product.

The acai is only found in the Brazilian rainforest. Not only that but these berries are extremely perishable. At this time it is not possible to ship the fresh fruit anywhere else in the world. If you want to consume this astonishingfruit while it is still fresh from the tree in its totally natural state you must travel to Brazil. However, you can still partake of the advantages of this wholesome berry because of recent advances in processing methods.

Because the acai is so very perishable it must be processed within 24 hours after it has been picked from the trees. If this does not take place the natural degradation sets in and the nutritional value is quickly lost. This is why you will never see a "fresh" acai berry unless you are in Brazil. Products are made from the freeze dried berries and the processed powder that is extracted from the fresh berries.

There are a few ways to process these berries but the only sure way to keep the natural nutrients and goodness is a method that involveds what is called freeze-drying. Freeze drying does not use heat or chemicals, either of which can deplete the natural occurring nutrients. Before you buy a product make sure that it was processed with a freeze-drying method as opposed to any other way that uses heat or chemicals.

As you consider the product you are going to purchase, check out the nutritional label to see how much actual acai berry extract is in the product. Nutritional labels show ingredients by the amount that is in the product. Therefore, if the first ingredient listed is acai berry or a variation thereof then it is the main ingredient. If some other ingredient is listed then that would be the main ingredient. This may not be an issue but be sure that the main ingredient is a healthy one.

Acai berry products range from delightful juices, to capsules and supplements, to dried powder forms. Each of these products can be healthy and nutritious and it is up to you to decide your preference. These fruits have been found to support good health for everything from weight loss to serious diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Acai berry products can be a nutritious addition to your healthy diet plans. It is an remarkable source of crucial antioxidants and other nutrients and it can only benefit you and your health. - 17274
