How Legit is the Acai Berry?

By Frank Cassa

If you watch TV or read news articles, you will most likely have come across the acai berry. You probably have heard that it is a very healthy fruit, much healthier than other berries, fruits or vegetables. The acai berry has been featured in many TV programs, magazines and news.

Although you may have heard about the acai berry for the first time, this berry is not a new berry or organically created in a lab to contain amazing properties. The acai berry has been around for a very long time but it was tucked away deep in the rain forests, unknown to most people elsewhere in the world.

The acai berry grows on a branch of an acai palm tree called Euterpe oleracea, which is more commonly known as the acai palm tree. The acai palm is large and tall. Each tree can have as many as 25 trunks although it is not very common. An acai palm tree can be as tall as 25 meters.

Each acai berry tree has many branches dropping down from it like flowing ribbons. The branches cluttered together and on them are the acai berries. Each acai berry is on a branch is very close to the next berry on the same branch.

The acai berry is a small, rounded fruit of the acai palm tree. It is deep and dark purple in color. Sometimes, the acai berry can be so dark that the color is almost black. Each acai palm tree produces many acai berry fruit, 20kg per year is common.

People in Brazil love to eat fresh acai berry. The berry has many uses, not just as fruit but the acai pulp is great in wines, liqueurs or as food flavor or color. Some people use the acai berry to make other products such as acai berry juice, acai ice cream and acai cosmetics.

The acai berry is one of the healthiest fruit around. There are many medicinal properties of the acai berry so many people eat it for health reasons as well as taste. The acai pulp is rich with minerals and nutrients. Some researchers have shown that the acai berry is all you need to stay healthy.

While people now learn that the acai berry has many extraordinary health benefits, fresh acai berries are not commonly available in most countries. Sadly, the acai berry that was once hand picked is now mass harvested so that acai berry products can be shipped worldwide. This can of course decrease the effectiveness of the acai berry by the time it gets to you. - 17269
