Acai (pronounced a-sigh-ee)

This Brazilian purplish-black berry is widely used in energy bars, energy-boosting juices, and even in ice-cream! Health experts recognize acai as a top super food, claiming it has ten times the antioxidants of grapes and double that of blueberries. The acai berry is extremely rich in antocianine, an antioxidant. Antioxidants fight against and destroy free radicals. In addition, acai is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and supports the cardiovascular system. It is also rich in iron and fiber.

Acai is available in powder form in capsules, or purchase as a frozen pulp, thaw, and add to smoothies.
