The Acai Berry - scientific name is Euterpe Oleracea - which is commonly pronounced a-sigh-ee, is a rather small, round, and black-looking purple fruit found in the the Amazon rainforst. It is known by the Amazon natives as “içá-çai”, which means means "fruit that cries." It resembles a grape or a blueberry, but is yet smaller and darker. This fruit has a large seed and minimum amount of pulp. This berry is one of the most nutritious fruits in the world. For centuries, inhabitants of the amazon rainforest have gathered these berries from the azaicero palm tree for their powerful health benefits. The acai fruit berry is now broadly used in energy juices, ice cream, certain energy bars with granola, tea and capsules.
The acai berry can be found in the Brazilian rain forest. In fact, it has been used for thousands of years by Brazilians for nutritional support and to help a number of health concerns. The acai is loaded with vitamins and minerals, such as many of the B vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, iron, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Acai berries also contain omega-6 and omega-9 EFAs.
Acai berries are also an excellent source of a component called anthocyanins. These are flavonoids found in darker fruits that possess antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help defend the body from damage caused by unstable free radical molecules.
"Acai replaces wheatgrass... helps boost energy and lower cholesterol."
Brazilian Fuel & Recent History
Acai wasn’t just a secret of the Amazon natives. Modern Brazilians used acai as part of their daily diet as well, usually in the morning with breakfast.
Even though Rio de Janeiro is thousands of miles away from the Amazon Rainforest, it was there that the acai berry really gained popularity. The famous Gracie Jiu-Jitsu family recommended eating acai before workouts, and Futebol (soccer) players would mix the frozen pulp with guarana for a natural energy booster.
Doctors and researchers eventually ran medical studies on acai and discovered the exciting health benefits in the berry. Shortly afterwards it was introduced in juice bars and smoothies and became even more popular.
