The Benefits of The Acai Berry Miracle Food and How You Can Get It

What is acai berry? The acai berry (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) comes from the acai palm which is a palm tree grows in South America and Central America. It grows mainly in swamps and flood plains. They are tall trees that grow to be 15 to 30 meters tall – that means they can get roughly 100 feet tall. A leaf can be up to 9 feet long.

The acai berry is a small purple to black pitted fruit and are similar to a grape in appearance and size. It grows in bunches of 700 to 900 berries. The trees produce fruit twice a year. The fruits are about 1 inch in diameter with seeds that are about 1/4 of an inch. The berries are harvested as one of the primary foods of the local people and also are an important part of the economies in the areas where they grow.

The juice from the berry, and even the pulp, is commonly used with other juices to make juice blend drinks, smoothies, and other beverages. It is also used as a flavoring for ice cream, mixed with granola, and in flavored liqueur. They can be used as a flavoring for or added to almost anything. The berries have a high fat content and deteriorate rapidly (spoil), though, so you won’t be able to get fresh berries unless you are very close to where they are grown.
