Acai berries is considered one of the best super foods because this berry has the highest levels of amino acids, proteins, fiber and antioxidants of any other fruits like mango and grapes. Unfortunately these berries only grown in Brazil and most attempts to grow it out with this area have failed. So getting fresh whole acai berries is near impossible as it is very difficult to ship fresh berries they have to be processed in some way to be transported any distance.

One of the ways to preserve acai berries is to juice the fruit first although this has a detrimental effect on the fiber content of the fruit, all other nutrients like amino acids are preserved. Another way to preserve the fruit is to freeze dry them try both types and see which way you like them.

Other than the nutritional benefits of acai berries many people swear by their anti aging and weight loss properties from there high antioxidant content. Too get the best from the berries or juice you buy, try to source the highest content of acai berries for your prices range, a 100 percent acai berry content is always the best. The antioxidant content is what supplies the improvement in growth and repair of the body’s tissues helping with anti aging and weight loss.

Acai berries may also help lower cholesterol as well as have many other health benefits. A great side effect of the growing popularity of this fruit is that it comes from an Amazon palm tree from the Brazilian rain forest.

If the increased interest in the fruit continues it will encourage the growth of the rain forest rather than its destruction according to Greenpeace, as more acai berry trees will be planted and existed ones protected.
