Since the dawn of time people have been looking for the keys to living a long and healthy life, the acai berry has come along to provide an answer. It is an all natural fruit with a lot of good nutrition as well as taste. Packed full of essential fatty acids, fiber, carbohydrates, amino acids, and a ton of antioxidants, the acai berry has earned its reputation of being the world's #1 super-food. The acai berry has had a larger than life reputation for quite some time in the region where the acai palm grows. It has long been recognized for its medicinal qualities. The taste has been described as a mix of berries and chocolate and has been enjoyed in juice and fresh form for ages. The acai palm only has a harvest of fruit two times per year and unfortunately has an extremely short shelf life. Thankfully, the freeze drying process used by supplement manufacturers preserves the nutrients before the fruit has a chance to spoil.There is a reason why the acai berry has been passed down from generation to generation.
