Acai (Ah-SAH-EE) is an incredible superfruit containing a rare and wonderful blend of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and amino acids. This combo makes acai a one-stop-shop for health seekers looking for a delicious and easy way to get more nutrients and energy.

Acai is the fruit of the acai palm (Euterpe oleracea), which is native to South America. Acai fruit are small, round, dark purple berries, slightly smaller than grapes. Acai has an amazing and unique flavor that many say tastes like a vibrant blend of chocolate and berries. Acai is especially popular in Brazil and is often eaten by surfers to boost their endurance in the water.

When it comes to the best superfoods on the planet, Sunfood will always strive to raise the bar, and our Acai Powder is an impressive example of our dedication to quality. Our Acai Powder is much more and dense and rich than most acai products yet it still blends easily into your favorite smoothie.

Freeze-drying preserves more nutrients in acai than any other method. Most acai products are dried using high heat, which can drastically degrade nutrient content and antioxidant activity.

Acai is a renewable resource that, when gently wild-harvested, does not damage delicate rainforest areas. In fact, acai has actually been used to reforest regions that have been degraded by sugar cane and cattle farming. Wild harvesting of acai can contribute to the preservation of forests and supports the livelihood of harvesters and their families.

It's easy to experience the astonishing flavor of superfoods with just one spoonful of Sunfood Acai Powder. Taste again, and discover a wide spectrum of essential fatty acids and healing oils. It's no surprise that acai contains some of the same beautifying fatty acids found in cacao butter and olive oil. With more antioxidants than blueberries or pomegranates plus support for skin health, Sunfood Acai Powder is guaranteed a spot among the top superfoods for beauty.

Benefits

The dark purple color of acai comes from pigments called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against free radical damage. Diets rich in antioxidants can help slow the aging process and protect against disease. Acai contains omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are critical for brain function, cardiovascular health and the nervous system. An essential fatty acid is a substance that the body cannot make on its own and must be derived from foods. Acai is also a great source of B vitamins, amino acids, vitamins C and E, calcium and fiber. Plus, it's low on the glycemic index scale (i.e., low in sugar).

People enjoying acai regularly have reported:

* More energy/stamina
* Better sleep
* Improved mental focus
* Enhanced digestion
* Lower cholesterol
* Better metabolism

Recent research has indicated that acai may help to regenerate stem cells and even fight cancers.
