A dense source of nutrients, wild acai berries have what your body needs

Antioxidants Amazon Style—acai

A highly concentrated punch of energy, the acai berry is nothing short of a nutritional miracle. Nicknamed “nature’s energy fruit,” acai is popping up on lists of “Ten Best Superfoods” across the country. Not only is the berry rich in antioxidants (with anthocyanins 10-30 times more powerful than the antioxidants in red grapes), but it also boasts a balanced complex of essential fatty acids (including those hard-to-get omega 9s and omega 6s), amino acids, and valuable trace minerals. And how does it taste? Think a vibrant blend of wild berries with a hint of chocolate.
