Acai Berry, What's it all about?

What is all the excitement about?

Dr. Perricone named the Acai Berry as the #1 Superfood in the world.

The Acai fruit has been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, The CBS Early Show, in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

Acai only grows in the Amazon Rainforest. You can NOT buy Acai as a whole fruit in North America. You can only get it in powder or pulp form. When Acai is picked, it is a delicate fruit that must be processed within 24 hours as it is highly perishable.

Acai can be freeze dried and turned into a powder which has all the nutritional power of fresh Acai.

The vast majority of Acai powders on the market is not legitimate and has very LOW antioxidant effects.

So, I started doing some more research. After months of hunting – I have learned a great deal about the Acai Berry.

So let me start from the beginning...


What is Acai Berries?


Acai, (pronounced ah-sigh-ee), is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. This little berry, about the size of a blueberry, is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Amazingly, this berry is being called by many the miracle berry.

Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Acai berry tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit.


Acaí is packed full of:


  1. antioxidants,
  2. amino acids,
  3. essential fatty acids,
  4. vitamins and minerals.

The Açai Berry has the highest antioxidant score of any fruit or vegetable tested to date.. Unlike other fruits, the Açai Berry contains protein, fiber, Omega 6 and Omega 9 essential fatty acids. It is incredibly alkaline, assist the body with detox and maintaining optimum health in balancing ph levels. It is also very alkaline and is said to and balancing of ph levels.

It has twice the antioxidants of blueberries, 30x that of red wine! Acai is 100x more potent than Goji, Noni or Mangosteen.

There is no such thing as using the pit of the acai berry or the seed of the acai berry in any puree or powdered acai product. I have written this because I just surfed around the web recently and saw some sites and companies stating that they use the pit or seed! First off acai does not contain seeds, it contains a pit in the center and that is it!

I buy only the purest Organic & Kosher Acai in the world! I buy the whole pulp pure organic Acai juice. It is unrefined, 100% pure, 100% natural and 100% organic. It has no preservatives, no caffeine (guarana) and no added sugar. It is the purest organic Acai on the market today with no preservatives! It is 100% organic and is sweetened slightly with organic Concord grape concentrate (no water) in place of sugar to bring out the exotic taste.

Not All Açai is Created Equal!

Safely transporting this little gem, often called The Crown Jewel of the Amazon, across the world is not an easy task! This highly potent berry starts losing its active properties within 24 hours of being picked. As you can imagine, this is no simple feat for a company that strives to produce the best quality product possible. Therefore, you must do your homework to find a manufacturer that has gone the extra mile in their processing of the berries, as well as the ingredients added.


That is why I set out to find the Best Acai!
