Pure acai berry is becoming known as the most beneficial fruit in the world. Pure Acai berry from the Amazon forest is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods according to Dr Nicholas
Perricone. This berry has been around for thousands of years and not until the 1990's was it introduced to the western world.
Acai berry was first used by the tribes of the Amazon jungle as a cure for various ailments. It comes from a palm that has a long thin trunk up to 25m high with a group of branches with 3 meter long leaves at the top and the berries hang from these branches in clusters, each of them producing 700 to 900 fruits. Each palm tree produces about 20 kg of fruit per year and the wine produced by this fruit has become one of the most important products in terms of finance.

This palm fruit has been eaten for hundreds years by Brazilians. In the 1950's, medical professionals began to recognize its health benefits. Recently, several medical studies in the United Sates have documented its health benefits. Best studies have shown that pure acai berry is one of the most nutritious foods in the world.
