What is hip, purple and is coming to a health store near
you?
Wheat grass, goji or even pomegranate juice? Well that’s
last year’s news. The latest juice to hit the market is a purple fruit that
originates from deep in the Amazon flood plains and is claimed to be the most
nutritious and antioxidant rich food in the world.
Acai is the new juice on the block. It has gone from being a
zero to a $2 million dollar a year business just in the United States alone.
This berry is gaining attraction from Gisele Bundchen, Andre Agassi and Sting.
Described by US Health Sciences Institute as “nature’s perfect food”, the Acai berry is the fruit from an Amazonian palm tree with the nutritional content
that makes other fruits blush with inadequacy.
Served usually as a slush puppy mixed with bananas and
guarana extract, the Acai berry has an unusual tropical taste. Its effects on
health has been making headlines around the world and creating a strong hold in
many markets.
Acai’s biggest selling point is that it’s high concentration
of anthocyanins, antioxidants and lowers cholesterol. The purple little fruit
also contains good fatty acids identical to what is found in olive oil, high in
vitamins A and C, fibre, iron and calcium. It is a fruit without any bad things
in it. It contains zero cholesterol and only 4% fat.
The Acai berry is more of a lifestyle option than what it is
a dietary option. This is the magic potion that fuelled the hedonistic energy
of Brazilian beach culture for many years. It is better than it looks; deep
purple, dense colour that seems to be weighed down by its intensity. This fruit
is often served in a ceramic bowl as if it was designed to emphasize its
superiority over other juices. It is a whole meal in itself while at the same
time is a thirst quenching snack.
Research has shown that the antioxidants present in the Acai berry is more than 50 times greater than that of mangoes, more than five times found
in blueberries and almost double the amounts of that found in pomegranates.
Antioxidants can prevent blood clots, improve circulation
and can even act as an antiviral or help to prevent cancer. Researchers even
believe that the Acai berry may even be useful in treating prostate problems
and is applied as a remedy for many diseases.
After trying the Acai berry in one of the many
ways it is served you will be hooked. It is the most satisfying and rewarding
fruits you will find.
