Only Buy Quality Acai Products

By Judy N Gray

Acai berries have been proven to be among the most nutritious foods on Earth. This tiny, little, purple berry is loaded with healthy antioxidants, essential fatty acids, a plethora of vitamins and minerals and surprisingly enough, even 19 amino acids. It is no surprise that this amazing little berry has become so popular.

Because of this popularity, various acai berry products have come on the market ranging from juices, to powders, to supplements. There are so many products out there that you need to be aware of what to look for to avoid getting taken in by fancy advertisements and wind up buying inferior and low quality products. There are some excellent and extremely high quality acai products out there that can offer you all of the potential benefits of this astonishing little fruit but there are also many inferior and low-grade products.

The acai is only found in the Brazilian rainforest. Not only that but these berries are very perishable. Right now it is not possible to ship the fresh fruit anywhere else in the world. If you want to consume this astonishingberry while it is still fresh from the tree in its all natural state you must travel to Brazil. However, you can still enjoy the benefits of this wholesome berry because of recent advances in processing methods.

The acai berry must be processed within 24 hours after it has been plucked from the tree, otherwise the natural deterioration of the nutrients sets in and the nutritional value is quickly depleted. Freeze-dried berries and the processed powder from these berries are what acai berry products are made from.

The best way to process the acai berry is by using a process that includes freeze-drying. Other methods use heat and chemicals and both can destroy the precious nutrients found naturally in the berry. Before you buy an acai berry product make sure that it is processed with a freeze-drying process and never with heat or chemicals.

Another thing to consider is how much actual berry extract is in the product. Nutritional labels list ingredients in order of amount so the products with the highest levels of acai berry extract will list that first. The ingredient that is listed first will be the main ingredient in the product. This may not necessarily be an issue if that ingredient is also nutritious but it is still nice to know.

You can find delicious juices, assorted types of supplements, powdered products and even capsules and tablet forms of acai berry products. Any product that you choose can be healthy and nutritious provided it is a quality product. The acai berry has been found to be advantageous for your good health for everything from weight loss to the protection against serious diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Acai berry products are an excellent source of healthy antioxidants and other vital nutrients. Products made from the acai berry can be extremely advantageous for your health. - 17269
