Acai Powder

What is acai powder?

The acai, pronounced "ah-sigh-ee," is a small, powerful, dark purple berry that grows on tall palm trees in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. When the berry is ready, it is picked and left out to dry. It is then ground into a fine powder that you can add to a smoothie or juice, sprinkle on cereal or porridge, bake into a cake or energy bar, stir into yogurt, or even mix into a cocktail! We only use organic, raw berries from Brazil so that you can keep all the good things from the Amazon rainforest in your kitchen.

The acai berry is one of the most powerful superfruits that nature has to offer. It is a source of anthocyanin, a flavonoid that is really cool. This is a pigment that gives the acai berry its deep purple color. It also has a number of health benefits, such as fighting oxidation and inflammation, lowering cholesterol and improving heart health, improving brain cognition and memory function, helping cells grow back, and possibly fighting cancer.

The acai berry is also a great source of fiber (which helps keep your bowels moving), vitamin E (which fights aging and is good for your skin), and vitamin B2 (promotes energy and growth). Find out what acai powder can do for you and how we like to take it.

However, we think smoothies are the best way to include acai powder in your diet. Smoothies look as delicious as they taste thanks to the powder's natural purple tint, which also adds even more natural nourishment! 

Acai powder benefits:

Antioxidants are found in acai and are thought to keep cells from getting hurt. People think that acai berries have more antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries. Chemicals in acai may also reduce swelling, lower blood sugar, and boost the immune system.

◉ Improves immune system: Studies have shown that a compound in acai called polyphenolic can help reduce the number of cells that don't work right by 86%. Even though it's not a treatment or cure yet, polyphenolic compound extracts from acai are being studied to see if they can slow the growth of tumors.

◉ Anti-aging effects: Because acai has a lot of antioxidants, it slows down the aging process, which is another benefit. One small acai berry has 10 times as many antioxidants as a grape and twice as many as a blueberry, which is another superfood. Acai also has a lot of phytochemicals, which have been linked to slowing the signs of aging and, in some cases, even reversing them.

◉ Boosts energy: All of these health benefits mean that acai may make the body healthier and, as a result, give you more energy and stamina because your body will work better. Acai is a good food to eat when you're tired and need a snack.

◉ Good for the brain: The anti-aging effects are not just on the skin but also on the brain. A brain that gets older more slowly can work faster and better. Because of this, acai has been linked to better brain function, being more alert, and being able to think faster.
