Acai (ah-sigh-ee) berries came from a special palm tree in the Amazon. It tastes like a delicious blend of berries and chocolate. It also contains a lot of antioxidants, amino acids and the necessary fatty acids. This berry might not be accessible in a local market. However, it might be offered in several health supplements and gourmet stores.
Another merchandise of acai berry features unsweetened pulp; it has more nutrients in comparison to its conventional juice form. And this new product is highly suggested by Oprah and Dr. Perricone.
