ACAI - (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) Four letters that pack a powerful punch.
What is ACAI? ACAI is a berry produced by a palm tree found primarily near the Amazon River.
When ripe, the berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry.
They contain a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding a large seed.
Ages ago, before health food crazes, Brazilians used ACAI berries to treat digestive disorders and skin conditions.
Today, ACAI is heralded as a superfood that is packed with two times the antioxidants of blueberries and pomegranate.
It also contains healthy Omega fats, protein and dietary fiber.
All of which are good for the heart, body, brain and skin.
