Have you heard of the acai berry? If not, you should certainly look into this amazing little fruit. Found only in the Amazon rain forest, the tribes of the Amazon have eaten the acai berry for centuries. They know all about the incredible nutritional benefits the berry provides, and now these same benefits are available around the world.

Let’s start with the acai berry fatty acids. The acai berry contains Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9, some of the same fats found in fish. The acai also has 19 different amino acids, which are essential building blocks our bodies need. Of course, our bodies also need vitamins and minerals, and the acai berry is high in both. They contain Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, C, and E. There are also several different minerals found in the acai berry, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and copper.

These are more than enough reasons to love the acai berry, but there’s actually more. While the blueberry is often eaten because it contains a lot of antioxidants, the acai berry features twice the amount of antioxidants! It also contains more than ten times the amount of anthocyanins found in a glass of red wine and about 15 grams of fibre (based on eating 100 grams of the berry).
