The Acai Berry - Waasup with This Little Purple Dude
Sweeping the globe in a huge way the acai berry has both the size and resemblance of a grape with its dark purplish color and tree grown. The acai berry is often pronounced incorrectly. The pronunciation is roughly like “ah-sigh-ee.” Say it along with me ah-sigh-ee, feels like enchanting a deep breathing, is it ok?
This dark purple wonder grows on very tall palm trees in the Amazon Rainforest and at the tallest point of the branch you will find clusters of leafy green branches and thats where the acai berry actually grows. It takes a very agile and extremely brave person to shimmy up that 25 meter high tree and swing a long sharp blade to whack the branch off.
These branches produce hundreds of these purple berries twice a year and claim to have enormous health benefits because theyre packed with natural vitamins and important antioxidants. For such a small berry, it packs a punch with vitamins and antioxidants.
In addition, the acai berry contains omega fatty acids (healthy fats) there are many important nutrients included. The “Purple Wonder” has a unique but delicious taste like tropical fruit, while the more traditional Amazonian variety combines acai fruit pulp with the amazing guarana seed.
Together these provide a high level of nutritional health benefits like renewed energy and heightened mental clarity. Its the natural guarana seed, in part, that gives you the energy boost similar to caffeine like effect but without the jitters.
Recently, the acai berry has been marketed as a highly effective dietary supplement and sold in a variety of products; tablets, juice and smoothies, instant drink powders, and whole fruit.
Marketers claim the acai berry provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, and digestion. They also claim this little purple berry helps with detoxification and has high fiber content. Its claimed to improve skin appearance, the health of your heart, and make you sleep better. For such a small little purple berry dude thats a lot of pressure, dont ya think?
