For many of the natives it has been an amazing source of nutrition for them. It is packed full of all sorts of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.

What is acai?  It is a fruit with very high amount of antioxidants. It is so high on the ORAC chart that it surpasses wild blue berries, black berries, straw berries, and raspberries in antioxidant levels. Antioxidants defend the body from dangerous free radicals. They are what cause the body to age and cells to die.

The acai fruit also contains a lot of fiber in each serving. Fiber protects your body from heart disease, diabetes, and helps constipation.
