The Nutritional Power of Acai:
- Today I’d like to talk about the acai berry and it’s specific nutrient components that make it not only a delicious food but also highly nutritious.
- This Brazilian “superfruit” is a longtime diet staple among indigenous people in the Amazon region due to its high nutrition density.
- Due to how fragile the berries are, they are turned into a pulp to maintain their nutritional value and be ready to eat.
- Acai berries have a unique nutritional profile for a fruit, as they’re higher in fat and fiber and very low in sugar.
- Grazie Amazon Sorbet does not have any added sugars, which most other brands contain, making it one of the best forms of sorbet on the market.
- Acai also naturally contains vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, calcium, chromium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese,and magnesium which are important for the everyday function of our bodies and for immune health!
- And probably the most important health benefit of acai comes from its PURPLE power: ANTHOCYANINS, which give acai berries their deep purple color and act as in the body as ANTIOXIDANTS that may potentially help protect against various diseases.
