The Acai berry is being called the Number 1 Superfood. The small unassuming Açai berry has been featured on US media such as Oprah, The Today Show, CBS, the Wall Street Journal as well as the New York Times.
In the UK, top media such as the Telegraph, BBC Radio 4, The Times regularly feature the Açai berry as a rewarding and rich source in the essential antioxidants the body must have to maintain and build good health.
The
challenge though, is in buying the perfect kind of processed Acai supplement
or product, and cutting your way through all the Acai marketing hype. Acai only grows in one place in the World - the rainforests of the Amazon. Like other fruits or vegetables, the faster they are processed for shipping (and processed correctly) is vital for you to enjoy their maximum health benefits.
In our research, we discovered that the different ways that Acai is processed has a dramatic difference on their antioxidant and overall health benefits.
So, being able to understand and identify which Açai products
keep the maximum antioxidant benefits is key in getting the perfect health
boost you expect.
A recent scientific paper by Schauss and colleagues reported an extremely high total ORAC value of 1027 micromoles TE per gram for a freeze-dried fruit pulp and skin powder from the açaí berry. This is the highest ORAC value ever reported for a fruit or vegetable to this date, after converting values of fresh food weights to dry weights.
