Left Behind

If you want real acai berries then you will have to go to the Brazilian rain forest. Seriously. Once harvested the fruit degrades so quickly that distributors cannot get it out of Brazil without some pre-processing (or freezing) which turns it into a different product. If you’re really interested in getting as much acai as possible then you should move to the areas where they harvest the acai fruit: these people take in acai fruit comprising around 42% of their food by weight. Wow.

One of the better ways to get the acai to your grocery bag is with acai preserves. Acai preserves really are just what they sound like, and you would make them in same way that you would make strawberry or raspberry jam. And like with strawberries and raspberries, the more the better; so it is with acai preserves which contain up to 99% of their volume as acai fruit.

Pretty impressive by any standard, but phenomenal when you compare it to the alternatives which can be pills and powders said to contain acai. I would much rather have the real thing in front of me.

The good thing about the very simple way in which acai preserves are made is that the minimal processing means maximum retention of all the goodness and nutrients in the acai.

Health food with a bang!
When it comes to eating healthier most people who are not accustomed to eating healthy foods would think that this means giving up taste for healthy eating. The reality is that there are many ways to have your cake and literally eat it too! One of the most healthy foods on the planet is the Acai berry. This berry has an arsenal of vitamins and most importantly the highest (several times higher than the blueberry) level of antioxidants on the planet. You can get many Acai Recipes to make delicious foods that either use a product with acai berry in it, or that include it in supplement powder form (like making acai berry chocolate or brownies).

Where do you get Acai Recipes?
If you love the health benefits derived from the acai berry, then you will love using Acai Recipes to make some delicious foods, deserts, and even drinks to keep your body’s antioxidant supply in full swing. Where do you find these acai berry recipes? This is an easy one. With the popularity of the acai berry today, many have come up with their own recipes and have published them on the web. A place I like to go is this site called acai berry planet, where you can learn all about the acai berry and also get information on where to get acai berry powder (supplement form), drinks, even chocolate bars that all can be integrated in foods you love like cookies, cakes, and others.
