The Acai Berry is the Worlds Healthiest Fruit

First it was the beetroot which was then followed by the pomegranate and now it has turned to the Acai berry which is believed by many to be the worlds healthiest fruit. The main reasoning it has become a must have nutritional ingredient.

The Acai berry is a purple berry which has twice the cancer beating antioxidants than that of the blueberries and it is quickly becoming the most fashionable food in the US, where scientists have found that it destroys four-fifths of cancer cells.

Pronounced "Ah-sah-ee" this grape sized berry will become readily available in most countries within a matter of years. Currently it is available in a freeze dried form at specialist shops like some fruit sheds and other health stores. This is one berry that people do describe as the "Magic Berry."

The Acai berry is in the same position in the marketplace that coffee was some 10 years or so ago. The number of orders from people in the different countries it is available in is growing daily.

Acai berries also known as the Euterpe Oleracea contains the health giving omega 6 and 9 fatty acids which is rarely found in fruits. This same berry is low in calories and contains fibre, vitamins and calcium. Doctors are saying that they help to fight leukaemia and premature ageing. The Acai berry also helps increase libido. In a test carried out by the University of Florida results showed that the extracts from the Acai berry triggered a self destruct like response in up to 86 per cent of cultured leukaemia cells tested.

The environmental groups are fans of the fruit because it is providing an alternative industry to the tree clearing activities of logging and forestry in its native Brazil. The magic berry comes most commonly in a bottled juice.

The US is reportedly one of the biggest markets for this berry. The Acai berry juices and other acai based products have made a 2.5 million dollar a year business in this US Market. The biggest most singularly arguable point that the Acai berry has going for it is the nutritional benefits that it provides.

The more that people become aware of the products/foods they consume the more they are leaning towards making the Acai berry a part of their diets. The taste alone is something that has a big appeal to most people as it is not only distinctive but it also contains a nice tropical taste with a nice chocolate twist to it as well.

The Acai berry is one very versatile fruit that will appear in different foods like sorbets, puddings, sauces, milkshakes and even energy drinks.
