DID YOU KNOW?
A recent study by University of Florida Professor Stephen Talcott demonstrated the power of the antioxidants contained in acai. The study showed that extracts from acai berries triggered a self-destructive response in up to 86% of leukemia cells tested in a cell-culture model.
Acai (Ah-Sigh-EE):
a small, dark purple berry, which is the fruit of a native South American palm tree, from the genus Euterpe
Super Palm of the Amazon
Native to the tropical floodplains of Central and South American, Acai berries grow on tall palm trees extending up to 25 feet high, which are climbed and harvested by hand. Acai has enjoyed a long history of popularity extending thousands of years: from ancient Amazonian tribes using it medicinally, to modern Brazilian surf cultures that prize Acai as an excellent energy food. Navitas Naturals offers this superfood in a Freeze Dried Whole Berry Powder.
The Power of Acai
Nutritionally, Acai is considered a true antioxidant powerhouse, and is loaded with healthy monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The berries are also a great source of vitamin C, and posses many other micronutrients including polyphenols and flavonoids.
Purple Purity
In addition to its stunning color, Acai Power lends a delightfully rich and creamy texture and offers an unsweetened mild flavor, with hints of chocolate and berries. It’s an instant hit when scooped into to a smoothie or milkshake, stirred into yogurt sprinkled with granola, or whisked into a favorite dessert recipe.
