Jan 262010

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world. Containing one fifth of the world’s freshwater, one third of its plant and animal life, bordering eight different countries, the Amazon River basin is a vast region which is home to many of the world’s plants, some of which are relatively unknown outside of the area.

It is here that you will also find the acai berry. The people native to the Amazon basin use nearly 2,000 of the region’s native plants for medicinal purposes – and the acai berry is considered to be one of the most potent of these.

Despite its use in the treatment of ailments for thousands of years, the acai berry remained virtually unknown to the western world before around 1990. But at last, we too are able to tap into the amazing health benefits that the acai berry possesses.

Naturally rich in antioxidants, the acai berry contains ten times as many if these compounds as do grapes and twice as many as do blueberries. They also contain fibre, protein and minerals.

The acai berry also contains high levels of anthocyanins; the compounds which give red wines some of their health benefits. The acai berry contains a larger amount of anthocyanins than does wine and is also free of the negative effects of alcohol.

And there’s yet more benefits to this amazing tropical fruit; the acai berry is believes to be one of the most effective anti-aging foods. It is believed among health food enthusiasts that the anthocyanins and the antioxidants found in the acai berry are responsible for these anti-aging benefits.

Acai berries have been used in making wine with a higher nutritional value, to fight the disease schistosomosis (which is transmitted by snails) and in manufacturing an antibiotic to combat staph infections – this is a berry which has a wealth of nutritional benefits and a lot of different applications.

The acai berry is a little, round, black-purple drupe about 1 inch in diameter. There is a similarity between this and grapes in look and feel. Whilst the immense popularity of this fruit lies in the fact that it provides incredible health benefits the flavour is also simply superb. Perhaps the easiest way to enjoy the benefits of the acai berry is by drinking it as a juice or in smoothies.
