What Is Going On With The Tiny, Purple, and Beautiful Acai Berry?

By Sheila Bearsky

The acai berry is very dark purple, grows on a tree, the size of a grape, and is sweeping the globe in a huge way. The acai berry is often pronounced incorrectly. And just so that everyone knows, the correct pronunciation is 'ah-sigh-ee'. Say it with meah-sigh-ee, feels like taking a deep breath doesnt it?

The highly beneficial and healthful acai berry grows in the Amazon Rainforest. It is found at the tip of the tallest point of a specific type of palm tree, on clusters of leafy green branches. It takes a very agile and extremely brave person to shimmy up that 25 meter high tree and swing a long sharp blade to whack the branch off.

The purple berries are a great food item. Twice a year you have the harvest. They have lot of natural vitamins and important antioxidants. Despite its very small size, the berries are packed with vitamins and antioxidants.

The acai berry has omega-3's that are healthy for you. (healthy fats)Acai berries have many healthy features. The "Purple Wonder" has a unique but delicious taste like tropical fruit, while the more traditional Amazonian variety combines acai fruit pulp with the amazing guarana seed.

Together these provide a high level of nutritional health benefits like renewed energy and heightened mental clarity. Natural guarana seed is very good. You can have the taste and effect of coffee without the bad effect of jitters.

Recently, the acai berry has been marketed as a highly effective dietary supplement and sold in a variety of products; tablets, juice and smoothies, instant drink powders, and whole fruit.

Some advertisers suggest that the acai berry increases energy levels, helps with indigestion, and enhances sexual activity. The little purple berry has good detoxification characteristics and also has a high fiber content which is really helpful. Its claimed to improve skin appearance, the health of your heart, and make you sleep better. An awful lot of pressure for such a tiny berry, no? - 29161
