The Benefits of Acai Super Food and How You Can Buy It

by admin on April 29, 2009

What is acai berry? The acai berry (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) comes from the acai palm which is a palm tree grows in South America and Central America. It grows mainly in swamps and flood plains. They are tall trees that grow to be 15 to 30 meters tall – that means they can get roughly 100 feet tall. A leaf can be up to 9 feet long.

The acai berry is a small purple to black pitted fruit similar in size and appearance to a grape. Bunches of berries can have as many as 900 in a cluster. The trees produce fruit twice a year. The fruits are about 1 inch in diameter with seeds that are about 1/4 of an inch. The berries are harvested as one of the primary foods of the local people and also are an important part of the economies in the areas where they grow.

The juice from the berry, and even the pulp, is commonly used with other juices to make juice blend drinks, smoothies, and other beverages. It is also used as a flavoring for ice cream, mixed with granola, and in flavored liqueur. They can be used as a flavoring for or added to almost anything. The berries have a high fat content and deteriorate rapidly (spoil), though, so you won’t see fresh acai berries very far from the region where they are grown.

Now that we have talked about what what is acai, lets talk about how you can get acai berry supplements to help you get rid of cellulite. As I said above, the berries spoil very quickly so you won’t be able to get a pint of these berries for your smoothies unless you live in South America or Central America. The good news is that there are a lot of companies that have put the antioxidant goodness of acai berries into juice drinks, powders, capsules, and even acai berry chewable tablets.

When you are choosing which acai berry supplement you want to try, make sure you go with a trustworthy company and if you can get a free sample, you are reducing the amount of money you have to spend to find out how much this super food may be able to help you.

You should check with your doctor before starting any diet or exercise program to make sure there aren’t any hidden health issues you should know about. In most cases, there isn’t anything that will prevent you from exercising or dieting, but you should check to be sure.
