The world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon’s borders extend into eight countries. The Amazon River basin contains one fifth of the world’s fresh water supply and the area is teeming with wildlife of all sorts. One third of all animal and plant species on Earth may be found in the Amazon.

It is here that you will also find the acai berry. The people native to the Amazon basin use nearly 2,000 of the region’s native plants for medicinal purposes - and the acai berry is considered to be one of the most potent of these.

The acai berry has been used locally for millennia, but it was not until around 1990 that it began to be known outside of the area. But now, nearly everyone can take advantage of the acai berry’s incredible health benefits.

Naturally rich in antioxidants, the acai berry contains ten times as many if these compounds as do grapes and twice as many as do blueberries. They also contain fibre, protein and minerals.

Another benefit of the acai berry is its high level of anthocyanins. These compounds are said to be responsible for some of the health benefits of red wine. The acai berry however, contains higher levels of anthocyanins and eliminates other risks associated with alcohol.

There are more benefits to the acai berry. This incredible tropical super fruit is thought to be one of the most potent foods for anti-aging purposes. The antioxidants and anthocyanins contained in the acai berry give this fruit its anti-aging benefits.

Acai berries have been used to create wine which has a higher nutritional value, to battle schistosomosis and in making antibiotics to fight staph infections, as well as to provide their many health and nutritional benefits. This is a berry which is very versatile and has a wealth of nutrition and other beneficial uses.

The berry itself is a round purplish berry which is about an inch around. The acai berry looks a bit like a grape and feels like one too. The incredible popularity of this superfood is because of its many health benefits. But the flavour is of course also wonderful. Acai berry is best consumed in the form of juice or incorporated into smoothies.
