Acai Berries Require Proper Preservation
There are many challenges in keeping acai berries. Amazonian acai berries are healthy but they are very perishable which is why most people do not get to eat fresh acai berries, only getting to eat processed or preserved ones in the form of frozen pulp. Once an acai berry is picked off of an acai palm tree, it will not last long in the open air. If refrigerated, it can last up to 24 hours, at which time it's many nutrients begin to die off quickly.
The short shelf life of fresh acai berries makes it hard for manufacturers and companies wanting to sell the berries worldwide to transport them to where buyers are. Acai berries need to be preserved and processed to make sure that they arrive good and full of nutrition at their destination.
Many people have heard of acai berries but they are not aware of the challenges acai product manufacturers face when they try to preserve the fruits and to process them. If acai berries are not processed or preserved immediately after picked, it will perish and there can even be a risk of microbial contamination.
The method used to preserve and process acai berries must also be one that preserve the most nutrients found in the berries. If the nutrients are destroyed in the process, no one would feel the need to pay a lot of money, risking microbial contamination and going above and beyond to obtain this hard to obtain exotic fruit. It is much easier to buy other fruits in local grocery stores.
Some companies freeze the acai berries before they are transported. However, this is also challenging because the second the temperature fluctuates, there is a risk that the acai berries will be spoiled immediately. Manufacturers have to spend more money to ensure that the shipping environment is constant. This makes shipping frozen acai berries rather expensive.
Some companies have developed powder-based acai capsules and tablets, therefore making the acai berries' nutrients last longer. However, there are concerns that the nutritional content of these derivative acai berry products may not contain many nutrients at all. The quality of the products is likely to be very low. Taking acai pills and tablets cannot compare to eating fresh acai berries or drinking most of the acai berry juices around.
A few companies use the freeze drying process to preserve their acai berries. These companies say that this process is by far the best method that will preserve the nutrients in the acai berry. The freeze drying process is done in a vacuum which is an environment that is hard for enzymes to be active and deteriorate the berry. But naturally, this is a harder process to achieve and can be more expensive than any other process.
The moral of this story is that while acai berries have lots of nutrients in them, the acai berry products that you find may not contain many nutrients at all. You have to pay attention to how the acai berry is processed in order to find out if a product is really good for you. If the product is not nutritious, then there is obviously no point paying a premium price for it. - 17269
