MEGA Antioxidant - Omega 3,6,9 - High Protein - pH Balancer - DetoxRich with more than fifty antioxidants, including cyanidin–3 glucoside (an anthocyanin), Açaí is an exceptionally good source of omega fatty acids, vitamins A, C, E, and B's, as well as a wealth of micronutrients and trace minerals. (See more amazing info below - way more than your average fruit!) Açaí is a great way for you, the Brazilian locals, and the Amazon rainforest to reap the benefits of this truly magical fruit while helping to protect the future for all. With each purchase of our Açaí Berry, you are contributing to the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest in two ways. When these same palm trees are harvested for "heart of palm" (a delicacy to many) the entire tree is destroyed. Even more incredibly, about 90% of the tree is wasted just to harvest the heart. Harvesting acai berries from these same palms is done without harming the tree, meaning more trees remain in the rainforest. A sustainable resource is both good for the economy, and the ecology. Also, we donate 2% of all Açaí proceeds to Amazon Rainforest preservation through Amazon Watch. Consuming açaí berries is good for you, good for the locals, good for the forest, good for the earth! Thank you!

Açaí Berry -- In
Detail
The Amazon
is the source of about 20% of the Earth's oxygen. It is
home to more than half of the Earth's estimated 10 million
species of plants and animals. In fact, the Amazon
Rainforest has
been called "Nature's Medicine Chest". Many
thousands of plants with medicinal properties remain
"undiscovered" by western medicine in the heart of the Amazon Forest. Açaí, now considered a super-food, has long been used traditionally by Amazon people.
The Legend of Açaí
"There existed a populated village at the edges of the Pará river that was growing so large, so fast, that their food began to become scarce. The leader of the tribe called Itaki, took drastic measures, and decreed that any newborn children would be sacrificed. At the time, his own daughter, Iaçá, was pregnant. During the pregnancy, Iaçá prayed to Tupá (God), that he would show her father a food that could save the tribe. She prayed day and night, but nothing happened. Finally, Iaçá's precious baby girl was born. Unfortunately, this baby was sacrificed as all others had been. Iaçá was devastated. She cried day and night, did not eat, and stayed shut away in her hut for many days. One night, Iaçá thought she heard the crying of her daughter in the forest, so she slipped into the forest lead by the sound until she came to a slender palm tree, where her daughter lay beneath. But, when she tried to embraced her infant, the image disappeared. The following day, tribe members found Iaçá dead, embracing the palm tree with a smile on her lips. Her open eyes were focused upon the many bunches of dark purple fruits at the top of the palm.
Açaí palm tree.
Iaçá's father
ordered that the fruit be brought down, and mashed. They obtained a reddish
juice, that soon became a main staple for the tribe,
bringing them much energy and renewed life.
Itaki called the
fruit Açaí (Iaçá inverted) in memory of Iaçá, and
her daughter. He removed the ban on having children,
and the tribe soon began to prosper. Today, that
population of people is known as Belém, in the state
of Pará, Brazil, from where much of the world's açaí
comes."
Amazing ... Açaí Berry!
The History of Açaí
Growing on rainforest palms, the Brazilian Açaí (Ah-Sigh-Ee) berry is the super-model of fruit. The fruits of the rainforest have been enjoyed by native Indians for centuries. Experts estimate that these indigenous people routinely utilize as many as 2,000 of the 3,000 known rainforest fruits. For over 2,000 years people of various countries have used the açaí fruit to remedy many ailments. Brazilian natives have long treasured açaí berries for their ability to provide a sense of strength, energy and a high nutritional content. Açaí is one of a few Brazilian exports that can directly protect the rainforest. The Brazilian natives believe the açaí berry to have amazing healing and nutritional properties. Amazingly, scientific studies prove this belief's validity. Açaí has been shown to have up to 33 times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes (one of the highest contents known). Presently, no other berry or fruit product can come close to matching the antioxidant content of açaí. The açaí fruit is a very small, round, black-purple drupe, produced in branched panicles of 700-900 fruits. Its appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed.

Açaí Berry
Açaí (Ah-Sigh-Ee)
is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm
tree. Açaí gives you the energy, with added
vitality, and increased stamina.
The açaí fruit is a very small, round, black-purple drupe,
produced in branched panicles of 700-900 fruits. Its
appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a
smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed.
Oprah has featured Açaí on her show
several times as being the top super food for
age-defying health and beauty.
Açaí Contains:
A remarkable concentration of antioxidants that help combat
premature aging, with more antioxidants than red
grapes, and the anthocyanins of red wine.
A synergy of monounsaturated (healthy) fats, dietary fiber,
and phytosterols to help promote cardiovascular and
digestive health.
An almost perfect essential amino acid complex with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper
muscle contraction and regeneration.
The fatty acid content in açaí resembles that of olive
oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid
is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish
oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make
cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane
supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors
function more efficiently. This is important
because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state,
and we know, inflammation causes aging.
More Comments on Açaí:The London Times - "Açaí is the fruit of an Amazonian palm
tree with the nutritional content that makes other fruits
blush with inadequacy."NBC Today reported, “the Anomabi Indians have believed for
centuries that the Açaí holds unique power…it is believed
to help women after birth, and to give anyone who drinks it
a burst of energy."
Health Sciences Institute - "The
Açaí berry is nature's
perfect food. Get the healing power of many phytonutrients
in one delicious package."
Men's Journal - "The fruit that packs a punch. Açaí actually
gives you a rush."
The Wall Street Journal - "Açaí replaces wheatgrass in
blenders at juice bars. A fruit from the Amazon that fans
say helps boost energy and lower cholesterol."
Vogue Magazine calls it “the next big
workout cocktail!"
Açaí
Protective Properties
Because it is so high in anthocyanins and phytosterols, two
kinds of plant chemicals that protect the body,
açaí helps to
protect connective tissues like collagen, which reduces the
stress of aging on the skin.
Because of its high antioxidant content,
açaí can help
protect against high LDL cholesterol levels, as well as
atherosclerosis, which often leads to heart attacks and
strokes. The anthocyanins in
açaí allow it to protect small
and large blood vessels. In diabetics, weak capillaries can
lead to a condition called retinopathy, which often leads to
blindness.
Clinical data supports
açaí’s powerful reputation. Since
1999, the ORAC test, developed by Baltimore scientist Dr.
Guohua Cao, has been accepted as the standard measurement
for antioxidants. The test measures how many free radicals a
food can absorb and eliminate. The typical person needs
1,670 ORAC per day. A single serving of
açaí provides
3,800 ORAC. To put this into perspective, over 80% of the
world’s population doesn’t even get half of the recommended
daily ORAC value.
Açaí
is also known to protect the nervous system,
which may help prevent age-related neurological
problems. Açaí has been used extensively for its
anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial,
and even anti-mutagenic (meaning that it
protects your DNA) properties. This is one of
the most powerful foods on the planet earth! Açaí
Berry Benefits
This pulpy little berry has gotten some serious media attention for its nutritional profile. In general terms, açaí is associated with some important health benefits, such as improved resistance to disease. By boosting the immune system, açaí’s rich nutrient profile helps boost the body's natural defenses.
Although results
vary from person to person, most experience results
within the first week or two. Below are some common
benefits from açaí:
Greater energy
levels and stamina.
Improved
digestion, due in part to açaí’s fiber content.
Improved
brain function / mental focus.
Improved
cholesterol levels.
Better sleep.
Improved
sexual function.
Cleansing and
detoxifying the body.
Strengthened
immune system.
Support for
cardiovascular system / blood circulation.This list is incomplete, since it is almost impossible to produce a comprehensive list of
açaí’s potential health benefits. Each person’s body will handle nutrients differently, depending in part on any pre-existing deficiencies or health conditions.
More about Açaí Berry The dark purple color of the fruit is due
to the polyphenolic compounds present. One of the main plant
chemicals getting a lot of attention in açaí, is a compound
called anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoids
widely distributed in plants and lending a red to purple
color to fruits like grapes, blackberries, and raspberries.
As a well known antioxidant, anthocyanin-rich foods and
fruits have been marketed as cancer preventative and
anti-aging products. Anthocyanins have also been studied as
novel sources of natural food colorings and dyes.
Packed with vitamins B1, B2, B3, C,
and E,
açaí also provides minerals such as
Calcium, Potassium, and Phosphorus,
essential fatty acids, and a wealth of
micronutrients.
In addition to the standard vitamins and
minerals found in most fruits, the main plant chemicals in
açaí fruit include epicatechin, p-hydroxy-benzoic acid,
gallic acid, (+)-catechin, protocatechuic acid, ellagic
acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, cyanidin,
and pelaronidin 3-glucoside.
