The Acai berry (pronounced as ah-SHA'-ee) which is 90% nut cannot be eaten raw and more abundant in Amazon forest however, it also prosper in a swampy or floodplain areas. It is a palm-bearing fruit that stands approximately 30-50 meters tall and its leaves up to 3 meters long. Its fruit size is just similar to grape that grows in its palms to 700-900 berries.
Its nutritional benefits are: it is very rich in antioxidants, which is richer than grapes, guava and mangoes, fiber, essential fatty acids specifically monounsaturated oleic acid which can be found also in fish oils, proteins, amino acids, phytosterols, anthocyanin and some other nutritional benefits. It is effective in cancer, obesity, athritis, diabetes, ache and pains, anti-aging, heart disease, blood clotting, digestive problem and many many more. It's dark purple skin is made into pulp which is found most beneficial where Brazilian natives used this pulp as a puree or a supplement than milk.
Recent study in the University of Florida reveals that six different chemical extracts were made from acai fruit pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations. Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cancer cells died.
Since, Acai berry is perishable and are traditionally used after picking, it is recommended to have it grown in your area. Other experts called this fruit as a "super food" because of its optimum benefits. Five servings a day gains optimum health.
I wish I could found this plant and make it grown in my area.
