“WHAT IS ACAI ??
Pronounced ‘ah-sigh-ee’, this royal purple fruit with the rich cocoa-berry taste is consistently named as one of the planet’s Top Ten Antioxidant Superfruits!
This super healthy superfood from a wild and vigorous Brazillian tropical palm growing abundantly over 2.5 million acres of Amazon River floodplains is harvested by local tribes then freeze-dried immediately to preserve its amazing nutritional properties including:
- Essential Fatty Acids (Omegas 6 & 9)
- 19 Amino Acids (proteins)
- Vitamins A, B1, B2, C, E, & P (flavonoids)
- Fibre (30+%)
- Minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorous, calcium)
- Trace elements (chromium, cobalt, molybdenum)
- Phytosterols (cholesterol-busting)
- Polyphenols (free-radical-scavenging)
The secret weapon of many famous athletes who love the very low sugar content and Low Glycemic Index (GI), & 2x more antioxidants than blueberries, 10x more than red grapes, 30x more than red wine, and ORAC values higher than pomegranate, cranberries and even Goji, what’s not to love?
Serving suggestion: Add to smoothies, juice, or water..
"BEST KEPT REFRIGERATED”
Processing: Acai berries are snap frozen at the harvest site and milled at low temperatures into a powder. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the berry to light and air, extra steps have been taken by having 1% citric acid (Vitamin C- an organic approved natural stabilizer) 'blown through' the batch then packaging into lightproof and vapourproof bags (preventing oxidation) with free-radical sucking oxy-absorbers to ensure maximum nutrient preservation and freshness to you on opening.
