This extremely healthy berry is called the acai berry (obvious a-sigh-ee). While it does not exactly taste like pure chocolate, the bitterness of cacao is included into acai’s extreme taste. The flavor is not the only thing that makes acai so one-of-a-kind.
Berries and chocolate. Normally a wonderful mix, right? Exactly what if there was a berry that had a cocoa taste in it? Well as nature would have it, there is. This extremely nutritious berry is called the acai berry (pronounced a-sigh-ee). While it doesn’t exactly taste like pure chocolate, the bitterness of cacao is integrated into acai’s intense taste. The taste is really tough to determine as a few of its juices have actually been compared to bitter raspberries while others claim acai produces a salty aftertaste (like say, olives.) Ok, I’m the one that said that. But the taste is not the only thing that makes acai so distinct.
From the jungles of the Amazons, acai berries have been eaten by Brazilians for centuries. However just recently, even more and even more of these grape-sized berries are falling from the South American palm trees into juice bottles worldwide.
Identified the antioxidant superfood, it’s known for its considerably huge quantities of anti-oxidants and nutritional value. Acai has double the cancer-fighting power of blueberries, the previously known antioxidant contest frontrunner. Consumption of the berry not only helps avoid and attack cancerous cells, but it is stated to enhance energy and overall resistance too. Really, the list of supposed as well as confirmed benefits is essentially endless from improved food digestion to better circulation, as well as much better sleep. It is based upon these remarkable characteristics that acai has actually been described as the most healthy fruit worldwide.
However, if you’re a juice producer searching for a brand-new endeavor, many juice and smoothie mix producers have already beat the gun on capitalizing on the healthful fruit. While the trend is still fairly recent, grocery store racks are currently well stocked with the likes of natural acai juices, yogurt drinks, healthy smoothies, as well as teas.
I’m actually drinking an "Organic Acai Anti-oxidant Superfood Smoothie" right now that asserts it’s enough for a meal replacement. Well, it sure seems to please my dietary demands as the Nourishment Facts label reveals adequate quantities of protein, carbohydrates, fat, potassium and even omega-3 fatty acids! Perhaps this stuff truly does work (Do not try this at home though people, acai shouldn’t be the only thing you consume all day.).
Acai has likewise revealed promises of preventing heart disease, as it has 10-30 times the amount of cardiovascular-fighting phytochemical called anthocyanin discovered in red wine. You might have heard of these phytochemicals from the French Paradox that specifies the strangeness of heart condition’s uncommon occurrence in France regardless of their high fat intake. The principle bears the phytochemicals in the red wine accountable for their ongoinged wellness.
Well I’m not below to inform you that it isn’t really, however I am below to inform you to be cautious about how much acai you consume. There is such a thing as an antioxidant overdose that has adverse effects such as toxicity, weak point and fever.
