Enthusiasts of acai berry’s healing benefits may not know that the berry, which consists of a cluster of seeds, with only about 15 percent being edible, is harvested from tall slender palm trees found in Central America and South America. The taste is often described as a cross between wild berries and dark chocolate.
Acai berries are low in sugar and contain excellent amounts of fiber, monounsaturated fats, iron, calcium, fiber, vitamin A, and anthocyanins, clinically proven to be beneficial for health. Properties contained in acai berries may help prevent health problems such as arthritis, inflammation, obesity, allergies, and heart disease to name a few.
