The Acai Berry Natural Energizer

By Carter Sinclair

The Acai berry is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world when it comes to nutritional and healthy food. The studies that have come out showing how poorly nourished most people are has lead to a craze in the health food industry and Acai berries are at the top of the list of the healthiest and best for you.

The Acai berry is small, approximately one inch in diameter, though over eighty percent of this berry is made up of a seed. The berries are either purple, this is the most well known, or they are green. While the seed does not have nutritional value for humans it is the perfect addition to top soil or even livestock feed.

It is the pulp and skin that are the most prized and most well known outside of their native habitat. This is what is what ends up in the various food items such as juices, yogurts, and ice creams as well as being sold dried or frozen. The reason why it is so eagerly sought after is due to the fact that it has one of the highest ORAC assay results ever recorded for a food.

The ORAC measures the level of antioxidants in a fruit and their ability to fight off harmful free radicals. Acai berry scored over a thousand on the assay. This means that it is very potent and very good at fighting off free radicals. Current studies on the Acai berry are revealing benefits such as amino acids, fatty acids, and other nutrients that the body needs for energy and metabolic functioning.

Acai berry is an energy drink that provides the body with more energy than coffee or other caffeinated drinks and still maintains great nutritional value. It provides you long lasting energy that isn't in the form of drinks laced with sugar.

The Acai berry is so versatile in that it tastes great in a number of different diet choices. It is a great addition to many different types of foods and has a taste that is a mix between chocolate and semi sweet berries. - 17273
