The Media is buzzing about Acai...
"There's a miracle berry that can help you live longer and healthier and chances are you've
never heard of it. It's called acai and it could help you ward off cancer, protect your heart, even prevent Alzheimer's disease, according to some research."
-ABC News Denver 12/14/2006
"It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But
studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee)
is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree."
-Oprah Winfrey Show 11/10/04
"The latest look-better, live-longer superfood? It's the acai fruit. It's what Denise Richards swears by; what Kelly
Slater downs before surfing competitions, and what Dr. Nicholas Perricone uses in his
anti-aging potions. It's acai, a multipurpose megabooster berry that Hollywood has been hooked on."
-People Magazine 1/30/06
Acai may be the healthiest food on the planet...
But before you get too excited and try to run down to the local fruit store to buy the Acai superfruit - we have
some bad news. Acai only grows in the Amazon Rainforest and is very perishable. So, unless you
live in the Amazon - you will not find fresh Acai at your local store.
Here is the good news - Acai can be freeze dried and turned into a powder which has
all the nutritional power of fresh Acai. Now the bad news - the majority of Acai powder
on the market is not legitimate and has very low antioxidant effects.
Confused? So were we, so we started doing some more research. After months of
hunting - we learned a great deal about the Acai Berry. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and let's
start from the top…
