What is Acai Berry?
Acai Berry is the latest super food doctors and fitness experts are celebrating worldwide. A dark purple fruit that comes from a palm tree found in the Amazon jungles of Brazil, Acai berry pronounced “ah-sigh-eee” is one of the best natural antioxidants available and can be eaten raw or juiced.
What are the benefits of including Acai Berry in a diet?
Not only does it provide the body with essential nutrients such as amino acids, healthy fats, carbohydrates, proteins, polyunsaturated fatty acids omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9, minerals like iron, potassium, zinc and calcium and vitamin C, E and B group among others. Acai berry consumption has also been proven to strengthen the nervous system, help treat cardiovascular disorders and boost energy levels.
In Brazil, it’s mainly consumed either as a smoothie or in a form similar to porridge or sorbet and is a popular breakfast, desert or snack with granola, oats, nuts and fruits. It can also be juiced and blended with different fruits to create refreshing and light smoothies; perfect for hot summer days.
Because Açai expires after 48 hours, the freshest form available is a concentrated pulp form; this is how it’s sold in Brazil and this is how local company ‘Acai Brazil’ supplies it in Kuwait. The Acai pulp is top notch, where only the best fruit is processed using state of the art facilities.
