The Acai Berry Natural Energizer

By Carter Sinclair

Studies have shown how poorly nourished people are. It has lead to an explosion in the health and food industry. The Acai berry stands at the top of the ladder when it comes to the most healthy foods.

The Acai berry is about one inch in diameter and is very small in size. The seed makes up about 80% of the berry. The berries are green, or the most known ones are purple. The seed doesn't have nutritional value but is used for livestock feed and top soil.

The skin and the pulp of the fruit offers the most nutritional value. This is what is used for such foods as ice creams, yogurts, juices, and often they can be sold frozen or dried. The berry contains one of the highest ORAC which is why the food is so sought after.

Studies about the Acai berry are showing that the fruit contains high levels of nutrients and amino acids and fatty acids. It also scored a 1000 on the ORAC assay which measures a fruits ability to fight off harmful free radicals. The ORAC simply measures the fruits antioxidant levels.

Coffee and other caffeinated beverages contain high levels of sugar and their energy often loses its kick after a short time period, Acai berry on the other hand will give you energy that will last longer and still has great nutritional value.

The Acai berry has a taste likened to a mixture of chocolate and berries. This makes it delightful by itself, but it also a great addition to a number of foods. This versatility allows for great creativity when it comes to finding ways to incorporate Acai berries into the diet. - 17269
