Acai Essentials

The Açai berry (pronounced
ah-sigh'-ee) is considered by many health experts to be nature's most complete and healthy food. The berry is the fruit of the Açai palm tree which flourishes in the lush rainforests that are fed by the mighty Amazon River. The region's nutrient dense soil and the warm, wet conditions provide an ideal climate for the palms to thrive and pack these tiny berries with nutrition. The Açai berry delivers a potent and synergistic blend of natural antioxidants, anthocyanins, (the antioxidant found in red wine - nearly 20 times the amount), amino acids, essential omegas, fibers and protein.
