You’ve heard about the acai berry right? It has been featured prominently on the television, radio, and print media as a new form of antioxidant and metabolism boosting wonder drug. Acai, which is native to Central and South America, has been touted as a super food because it has so many nutritional properties that it can fill a variety of nutritional needs. It has a high protein and amino acid content, as well as vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, calcium, antioxidants, and fiber. This fruit, which is about the size of a small grape or blueberry, is quickly becoming a hit.
Organic acai berries are said to be the most pure and healthy form of the fruit because they are chemical and additive free. If you are going to eat an all natural super food, you might as well get the purest version possible. Acai is said to taste like a mixture of fruit juice and chocolate, which means it is easy on the palette too. Studies have shown that acai has 10-30 times the amount of red antioxidants as red wine, which means it is a very powerful source of antioxidants. It also packs nearly 8 grams of protein and a host of amino acids. The omega 3 fatty acids are a benefit to your metabolism and can provide you more energy and help you lose weight. Last but not least, the high fiber content helps to curb your appetite and clean your system of toxins in order to help your body operate at its best.
Organic acai is often sold in pill form, but can also be delivered to your home in a variety of other food style options. You can buy the pulp in powdered form, which is great to mix in smoothies, juices, and granola mixtures. The extract, which is a potent pure form of the acai berry, can also be purchased to allow you to get a power packed acai berry boost on the go.
The best place to find organic acai berry products is on the internet, where you will find a much larger and cheaper priced selection than you would find at a local health food store. You may not even be able to find it locally, which often makes shopping online your best choice. It also allows you to find the best price and the most variety of acai foods, which is important for finding the best way for you to enjoy it.
Organic acai is a very beneficial ingredient to add into your diet and can help you stay healthy and fight off disease in more way than one. Don’t risk buying chemically treated acai berries that will kill off some of the benefits that the fruit can provide. Stick to buying the organic version to get the most results and most cost effective way to boost your immune system and give your body the nutrition it deserves.

Acai berry juice has a number of uses that can help bring a new and healthier you into being. Acai is a small purple or green berry that has a high nutritional value, as a result it is highly prized in the health food market. However, this fruit is not viable long after harvest so it is usually shipped as Acai berry juice or as frozen/dried berries.
Acai berry juice does not have to be used strictly by itself. It is perfect addition for a variety of different foods. The taste has been likened by some to be that of a chocolate and berry mix so some experimentation on non-desert use may be required. It does make a good addition to salad dressings for a variety of different types of salads, especially fruit salads or it can be used as a sauce to go over other types of fruit based deserts.
It is also a great addition to milkshakes, ice cream and sorbets. Acai berry juice also makes a good addition to dishes that go well with fruit based flavors such as chicken and pork. If using it with meat it is best to use it as a marinade to add flavor but not as a sauce. It can also be might into a light gaze for a ham.
A healthy and nutritious kick can even be added to mixed drinks. This can be a great way to add a totally new flavor to cocktails and after dinner drinks, even make your own desert drinks that are still healthy and nutritious. It can even be added to just plain water to give a healthy, preservative and sugar free flavoring to your water.
For those that like flavored coffee here is a great way to not only get an energy kick times two but get all the nutritional value of Acai berry juice. These are some of the best ways to get the nutritional value that comes from the Acai.
The juice is packed with B-vitamins, Beta-carotene, Calcium, Copper and Chromium, even iron, magnesium, and Zinc can be found. All of these ingredients help with handling stress, providing energy, increasing the metabolism even helping to produce healthy skin, hair and eyes. There are even ongoing studies that show that Acai berry juice added to the diet can help with chronic illnesses such as Diabetes and may be able to help those who are at risk or who have cancer.
Free radicals have been linked to some cancers and the Acai has one of the highest rankings when it comes to antioxidant content and the ability to prevent free radical activity within the body. This can also help you to look younger, feel younger and remove toxins from the body.
