It hails from the depths of the Amazon rainforest and is a fruit indigenous to Central and South America only. The acai berry grows in tiny clusters which remind you of the red grape when you look at them. But this berry, with its deep purplish hue, is better than the grape even. In fact, the acai berry is so good for the body that it is first in a class of known super-fruits most have heard talked about.

Reports abound regarding the great health benefits that can be gained by adding an acai berry supplement to your regular diet. While I do want to go over some of the reasons why the acai berry has gained such a favorable reputation all over the globe, there is more to talk about than just the positives.

Critics and skeptics alike question whether or not the excitement over Acai Berries is based on any factual evidence. The truth is that Acai Berries are in fact power packed full of beneficial anti-oxidants, specialized proteins and vital nutrients not typically found in the foods we eat! The problem is that with all the hype around Acai berries many companies have devised schemes aimed at scamming consumers into buying ‘fake’ or synthetically produced Acai Berry products.

The acai berry has gained a worldwide reputation in recent years; but for centuries the natives residing near the South American Amazon rainforests have known about the seemingly miraculous health benefits to be gained from consuming the acai berry on a regular basis.

You have no doubt heard a lot about Acai berry. Acai Berries are a rainforest fruit grown deep in the heart of Central and South America. What you might not know is whether all the hype and media attention is true or whether it is just that…hype!
