Acai berriesToday, more than ever, people are taking the advice of doctors and seek out the health benefits associated with what is known as a "superfood."
With the high level of antioxidants and other beneficial components, products such as supplements containing Acai are more and more popular, due to their many desirable health benefits, including boosting heart health and maintaining important organs, muscles, and tissues.
Enjoying fresh Acai is the problem, as you'd have to live in the rainforests of the Amazon. So people must buy Acai products and supplements from companies who offer frozen Acai pulp and freeze-dried options.

How to enjoy the health benefits of Acai berries ...

Taking fresh Acai berries outside of the Amazon is impossible and frozen Acai presents many limitations. As well as commonly produced Acai berry powder supplements, spray-dried and extracts are also available for purchase but tend to offer less health benefits.

Our current recommendation is to only buy Acai berry products using freeze-dried Acai, and preferably organic and Fair Trade.
