Acai Berries – What Are They and Are They Really Healthy?
If you haven’t heard of the Acai Berries, you are way out of today’s loop! These remarkable, power-packed, little berries from the Acai Palm tree are native to the forests and flood lands of Central and Southern America. The berries are deep, dark purple and grow in clusters similar to those of grapes. They resemble grapes but are smaller and darker. They have a very large seed, not much pulp and were typically made into a wine. The acai berries have been around for centuries but were only introduced to the western world in the 1990’s.
