On health food store shelves (online and off) throughout the land, you can find Acai Fruit (more often seen as “Acai Berries”) sold in all sorts of various and sundry forms.

This sudden preponderance of acai fruit everywhere comes for good reason: Acai Fruit are one of the most powerful and nutritious superfoods in all the world

The word ‘Acai’ is pronounced: ah-sigh-EE.

The purple-pigmented, blueberry-sized acai berry harvested from an Amazon palm tree called, appropriately, the acai palm, which grows in the Brazilian rainforests. This 60 foot tall tree is also one of the palm trees that are used to make edible “hearts-of-palm”.

For centuries, Amazonian tribespeople consumed acai fruit for their health benefits, with legends of its healing powers passed down through generations.

Unlike the similarly-sized blueberry, however, Acai fruit are not all fruit. The 10% of the acai berry that is actually edible fleshy pulp sits surrounding a large inedible seed inside that constitutes 90% of the acai berry’s volume.

A machine that agitates the acai fruit with water separates the seeds out and leaves a thick fruity acai pulp puree behind.

Acai fruit are commonly described as having an extremely pleasant (to most people) taste much like that of red wine blended with chocolate. Others describe it as a tropical fruity taste. Yet acai fruit are low in sugar.

Acai fruit have the highest ORAC (or Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) value of any fruit which means it circulates more antioxidants through your bloodstream to fight free radicals than any other fruit.  Read more about the beneficial acai berry nutrients.
