The Acai Berry Health Boom
If you have even just a passing interest in health supplements then you will no doubt have come across Acai Berry, a new phenomenon in health and weight loss circles. Acai Berry has received celebrity acclaim from no less than Brad Pitt and Oprah, resulting in soaring popularity that is snowballing. So what exactly is Acai Berry?Acai Berries are small purple fruits found in Acai Palm trees in the Amazon rain forests of Brazil. Acai has long since been harvested by natives as a natural food source, revered for its rich nutrients and potent health qualities. Until recently Acai was little heard of in the Western world but has fast been acknowledged by experts as being the number 1 super-food on the market.The main problem encountered in globalising Acai Berry is the speed at which it ’spoils’, lasting little more than 24 hours from harvesting. This has been overcome by the use of freeze drying, a technique which helps retain all of the potency and nutrition of the berry. It is this freeze dried form of Acai Berry which has enabled the formulation of the Acai Berry supplements and powders you see in stores today. In our next post we will discuss further the health benefits provided by acai berry.
