Natural, organically grown, high ecological quality
Açaí is called the wonder berry from the Amazon region.
Why?
They provide an impressive combination of nutrients and have an unusually high ORAC content. Acai berries with their high antioxidant content have many health benefits for mind and body.
The acai berry is the fruit of the khol palm trees in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. The Acai berries are smaller than grapes and dark purple. They consist for the most part of a seed which is surrounded only by little pulp. The seed even accounts for around 90% of the acai berry. Acai has become a popular superfruit in just a few years and is considered by many to be one of the most nutritious foods in the world.
The Acai berries contain many anthocyanins, antioxidants, fiber, healthy omega fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, phytosterols, vitamins and minerals. The Acai berry is also a delicious fruit that tastes like a hint of nuts or raw dark chocolate.

The impressive nutrient profile in Açaí powder provides calcium, iron, protein and fiber. It is also a rich source of antioxidants. Dried acai berries have one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values ??of 70,000 units per 100 grams. By comparison, red grapes reach only 740 on the ORAC scale. Furthermore, acai berries have a 10-fold greater antioxidant effect than red grapes, and a 2-fold stronger antioxidant effect than blueberries.

The ORAC value for 100 grams of spray-dried acai powder is over 70,000. A high value, considering that most of the population consumes less than 1,000 ORAC units per day.
Acai provides healthy fatty acids
The Acai berry contains many omega fatty acids. Almost 50% of Acai berry's calories come from its fat content - with 74% of the fat being healthy, unsaturated fats like omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9.

Acai is rich in amino acids and proteins
7.59% of the weight of the pulp of the Acai berry is accounted for by amino acids. 19 different amino acids are identified in Acai berries. Since amino acids are the building blocks of proteins it is no surprise that 100 grams of acai contain 8 grams of protein.
Acai is a great source of phytosterols
Three phytosterols (or phytosterols) have been found in acai berries - B-sitosterol, campesterin and stigmasterol. Phytosterols provide numerous health benefits in maintaining a healthy heart and digestion.

Acai studies
The US Department of Agriculture has commissioned studies to investigate the relationship between foods that are high in antioxidants and the aging process. Here are some quotes from the scientists involved in the research:
"Studies by the Jean Mayer USDA's Human Nutrition Research Center of Aging at Tufts University, Boston, show that consuming high-ORAC fruits and vegetables can help slow down the body's and brain's aging process."
Ronald L. Prior, researcher at the Department of Agriculture's study, says that "ORAC value can help define the nutritional requirements needed to prevent tissue damage."
Can Acai cure diseases?
If you believe some websites Acai berries seem to be a miracle food. If you want to stay healthy and feel energized and young, you need a healthy, nutrient-rich diet and exercise. It's true that when it comes to good nutrition you can not find anything better than Acai berries.

How is spray-dried acai berry powder made?
The naturally high content of Acai berry's healthy fatty acids means that it spoils much faster than most other fruits - usually within 24 hours. Once the berries are harvested, they have to be processed immediately.
Spray-drying makes very effective use of the principle of surface enlargement. In spray-drying, the liquid pressed pulp on maltodextrin is atomized into fine droplets at the top of a drying tower. The drops are dried during their free fall by a stream of hot air in the tower. The temperature of the hot air flow is between 150 - 250 ° C and acts on the products only for a period of a half to one second. The temperature of the powder particle cools down by the evaporation of water and is only about 60 - 80 ° C. After freeze-drying, spray-drying is the second-most gentle method.
Why can't we buy fresh acai berries from the supermarket?
Fresh acai berries are only available in the Amazon Rainforest. The Acai berry spoils very quickly. 24 hours after it has been picked from the Acai palm it is no longer edible so it would not "survive" the transport. Therefore, the pulp of Acai berries is pureed and spray-dried immediately after harvesting and offered in the form of powder as an Acai dietary supplement. These contain all vital substances of the fresh acai berries in highly concentrated form.
Does Acai have side effects or interactions?
No! Acai, like all other edible fruits, has no side effects or interactions. The only important thing is that when buying Acai powder be careful to buy 100% pure Acai. This acai powder is spray dried using maltodextrin.
