Where Can I Get Some Real Acai Juice?

By Pauline Hanson

Acai juice is becoming more and more popular nowadays. It is made from juicing acai berries, which are purple berries only found in the rain forests of South America. The areas where they grow are usually swamps and floodplains. They grow on the acai palm tree, a member of the genus Euterpe palms. There are eight other species in the same family as the acai palm. You will find many acai palm trees in Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru.

Young acai berries are green in color. As the fruit matures, it changes color from green to deep purple. The acai berry is a small berry. Its size is comparable that of a blueberry. On an acai palm tree, which averages 15 to 25 meters in height, the berries grow in bunches similar to grapes. Each berry contains only a small amount of the precious acai pulp which is the most nutritious part of the berry. The stone inside the berry makes up about 80% of the acai fruit.

People in Central and South America have long known the great benefits that the acai berry offers. The little berry contains more nutrients, vitamins and minerals than most other fruits. They would drink the acai juice in the morning before work and with other meals throughout the day. The berry is a staple food source in the countries where they grow.

Pronounced "ah-sigh-ee, the little purple fruit has made its way outside of its native countries. The acai fruit has been a popular fruit among in Brazil and Peru but now it is also a hit in the US. In the US, however, there are no fresh acai berries, only acai juices. Since the acai palm trees do not grow in the US, drinking acai juice is the only option for people of the United States.

When the acai juice was not so popular, you could only find a few brands in only selected, specialized health food stores. But, now that the demand for acai based products has skyrocketed, there seems to be more acai juice brands than most other juices. Two famous companies have attracted the most attention. They are Sambazon and MonaVie. Sambazon has a wide range of acai products, not just acai juices, whereas MonaVie is a network marketing company with only a few lines of products.

No matter where you buy your acai berry, you need to do your research beforehand. You can find out a lot of about berry as well as its nutritional content before you make a purchase. By doing so, you will be able to avoid falling for scams. There are many scams that take advantage of the acai berry craze nowadays. If you are afraid of buying online, you can just visit your local grocery stores and see what acai juice they have. - 17269
