The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Açaí berry has taken the nutrition world by storm! With ten times the antioxidant power of grapes, four times the antioxidant protection of red raspberries, and twice the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Açaí berry is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth!

The health benefits of Açaí are astounding. With the symmetry of a grape and the size of a giant blueberry, the Açaí fruit tastes a bit like wild raspberry with a hint of grape. Most people have trouble putting their finger on the taste because it's so different.

The Açaí is a treasure, a one of a kind plant found in the 1.2 billion acre tropical rainforests of the Amazon jungle. This area of the earth houses the largest collection of living plant and animal species in the world, many of which exist nowhere else on earth. The Açaí palm is a tall slender South American (concentrated in Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname) palm, grown for its fruit as well as for the "cabbage" (the cluster of new leaves more commonly called the "heart of palm").

Açaí berries grow on an Amazon Palm and have been highly touted for hundreds of years by Brazilian natives for their ability to provide a sense of strength, energy, and a high nutritional content. Açaí berries are extremely high in essential fatty acids and omega oils 3, 6, & 9. This unique ratio resembles the same combination of olive oil.

60% Oleic (Omega 9) — a monounsaturated essential (fatty acid which helps to lower LDL (harmful cholesterol), while 12% Linoleic (omega 6) — a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid which has also been found to lower LDL while maintaining HDL.

Açaí also contains many valuable Phytosterols. Sterols are compounds of plant cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the Human body, namely the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol. The Açaí berry is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth and is currently thought to be #1 among the elite group of top antioxidant foods.

The Açaí berry is a prime source of a particular class of antioxidant flavonoids called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins produce a high ORAC value (the measure of its antioxidant properties), higher, in fact, than any other edible berry on the planet.

The following properties are considered by health experts to possibly be the most significant:

1. Large and Small Blood-Vessels: Anthocyanins ability to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidation of cells makes them a powerhouse in the fight against arteriosclerosis. Even in trace amounts, anthocyanins effectively protect against LDL oxidation. Anthocyanins protect the integrity of the endothelial cells that line blood vessel walls and help to maintain micro-capillary integrity. The protection of anthocyanins may help prevent capillaries from leaking which is considered a main cause of diabetic retinopathy, which in most cases can cause blindness.

2. Eyesight: Anthocyanins may help improve eyesight by numerous mechanisms. For example, in the Second World War, British fighter pilots who consumed bilberry were found to have improved night vision. Taking advantage of this knowledge, the pilots would consume the bilberry fruits just prior to the mission. However, the effect of the improved night vision was only temporary because of the small quantity of anthocyanins present.

3. Inflammation and Collagen: Anthocyanins neutralize specific harmful enzymes that destroy connective tissue. Their antioxidant capacity also prevents oxidants from damaging connective tissues and facilitates the repair of damaged blood-vessel walls.

4. The Nervous System: The anthocyanin properties in açaí may help protect against neurological diseases. The primary anthocyanins in açaí known as Cyanidin-3-glucoside have been found to help in the reversal of age related neurological deficits.

5. The remarkable concentration of anti-oxidants helps combat premature aging.

6. The juice is an excellent source of dietary fiber.

7. A recent study from the University of Florida, dated January 12 , ----, states that extracts from Açaí berries triggered "a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested." This was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, according to Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. He further states, "This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries."
