The acai fruit — a drupe — grows in large bunches on top of the acai palm in the Amazon basin region of Brazil. Acai Berry is economically vital in the region as it accounts for much of the income of the local Caboclo population. It also makes up 42% of their food intake, by volume. If that’s not an acid test to show that acai is good for you then I don’t know what is.
It is quickly becoming apparent to many in the Western world that Acai Berry Diet
is an aid to weight loss. Not only do the nutrients and goodness that are present in abundance in acai directly help weight loss, but the simply fact that, as part of a controlled diet, acai helps you eat less. There is little solid proof that acai helps weight loss, but the facts really do speak for themselves.
If you are considering weight loss, consider acai. You might just find that it provides some well needed support.
Acai is eaten all over South America, sometimes as the berry itself and sometimes as an ice cream flavor or even as a juice. Getting acai outside this region is problematic due to the volatility of the fruit; people are managing to find ways to do it, though, and acai continues to grow in popularity.
