The acai berry pronounced (ah-sigh-ee), is a creamy, low glycaemic berry that grows on tall palm trees on the banks of the Brazilian Amazon and is armed with antioxidants, omega fats and fibre.
The acai berry truly is one of nature’s most impressive superfruits. It’s a source of an amazing flavonoid called anthocyanin. This is a pigmented substance that not only gives the acai berry is deep purple hue, but also contributes to a variety of health-boosting activities such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, reducing cholesterol and improving heart health, improving brain cognition and memory function, aiding cell regeneration, and potentially anti-cancerous properties. The acai berry is also a fantastic source of fibre (helps with regular bowl function), Vitamin E (anti-aging and good skin care properties), and Vitamin B2 (promotes energy and growth).
