Acai
Acai is a small berry that grows at the tops of palm trees in the Amazon. A staple of Amazonian communities’ diets for centuries, acai has now become very popular throughout the rest of Brazil and around the world. People appreciate its unique flavor, a surprising blend of red berries and cocoa, its energy-boosting properties, and its exceptional health benefits.
The benefits of acai
Rich in antioxidants
Acai is four times richer in antioxidants than pomegranate. Antioxidants help prevent cell aging and disease, particularly cardiovascular disease.
Rich in fiber
With its high fiber content, acai aids digestion and delays the feeling of hunger. It is a healthy, gluten-free snack that satisfies small cravings throughout the day.
Rich in omega-6 and omega-9
These unsaturated fatty acids lower “bad cholesterol” levels. They improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Natural source of energy
Exceptionally rich in macronutrients , acai provides energy while being low in sugar. It is a healthy, fruity energy boost to start the day well and satisfy hunger.
Rich in minerals
Acai is rich in minerals and trace elements that support muscle activity and muscle regeneration. Brazilian athletes consume it before exercise to stimulate the body, or afterward to recover more effectively.
