Acai berries are renowned superfruits celebrated by many health enthusiasts due to the wide array of phytonutrients and potent antioxidants they contain. These extraordinary berries grow on acai palm trees (Euterpe oleracea) located along the banks of the Amazon river. Just like the blueberries they so closely resemble, acai berries get their distinctive, dark purple hue from their abundance of anthocyanins. When consumed, these antioxidant pigments help protect the body against oxidative stress and promote overall health.
Aside from antioxidants, acai berries also contain plenty of dietary fiber, protein, iron, fatty acids and beneficial electrolytes, such as calcium, potassium and magnesium.
