Looking for a new delicious way to get in your antioxidants? A revelation has come from the depths of Brazil in the açai berry; a small, round, purplish to black berry that is comprised of mostly seed and pulp. When the seed is removed and all that is left is the pulp and skin, the berry can either be freeze dried and then crushed into a powder or it can be smashed like grapes to make a juice. When the açai berry is freeze dried, the antioxidant level is extremely high making it one of the healthiest foods to eat. Açai berries break down almost immediately after being picked from the tree, so it is often made into juices so that it can be shipped outside of its growing area. Most of the açai berries are paired with other fruits when formed into juices, such as mango, passion fruit, apricot, pear and cranberry and many more. The açai berry can also be used in sorbets, usually blended with other fruits and the frozen, as well as in smoothies where it is joined with other fruits and milk; in the organic form they use soy milk which works for lactose intolerant as well as vegetarians.
There is one more way to purchase açai berry products; in the form of powder or capsules. The powder is a concentrated version of the berry, after it has been freeze dried. This powder can be mixed into any juice, milk or soy milk to create a one of the kind juice or smoothie. The capsules are a more vitamin way to approach getting in the daily dose of açai berry. It is the powder, plus a few more ingredients to preserve it, wrapped into a easy to swallow capsule which can be taken in two to four pill doses.

There are a few companies who have cashed in on the new super food, açai berries, but there is only one that stands out in their vast array of açai products. Sambazon is the leading company for açai smoothies, supplements and concentrates. The açai berry is found deep in the Amazon jungle near rivers and swamps and is high in antioxidants and other nutrients. A few of the ways to enjoy the benefits of the açai is through smoothies, juices, concentrated powder and sorbets. Unlike other açai product manufacturers, Sambazon offers their goods in stores. There are several retailers who provide consumers with the various Sambazon açai berry products. The Sambazon line of açai berry infused drinks include organic smoothies and juices which have nothing but the actual fruit itself and, depending on the flavor, other natural fruits. They offer supplements which consist of powders and capsules. The powders are just a concentrated form of the juice or smoothie, depending on if you add it to juice or milk. This is the highest form or antioxidants as the berry is freeze dried then powdered. The capsules are basically like vitamins. Recently added are their açai berry sorbets. They come in three flavors and come with various instructions on how to eat them from adding fruit and granola to just eating it straight from the container. The sorbets are great for those with lactose allergies and vegans alike. Like the juices and smoothies, the açai berry sorbets from Sambazon are also organic.

The açai berry is being hailed as the new super fruit and is not only high in various vitamins, but holds quite a few antioxidants as well. One of the ways to consume the açai berry is in juice drinks. The berry, once the seed is removed, is mashed until the juice runs free from the pulp much like making wine from grapes. There are two well known companies who are the business of selling açai berry juices. One is Mona Vie and the other is Sambazon. They are the leading producers to America of the açai berry but each one boasts itself. Mona Vie is found in various countries such as America, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Australia and Japan. They offer açai berry juices and gel; the gel is just a more concentrated form of the juice. Mona Vie is unique in that they blend together nineteen delicious and exotic flavors to create a one of the kind juice. Sambazon is the current leader in açai berry smoothies. It is located in California and produces the smoothies in organic form as it is endeavoring to promote rainforest preservation and world wide environmentalism. They offer several smoothie products such as ready to drink smoothies, açai power capsules and frozen smoothie packs. These come in various flavors including açai mango, açai soy, and açai strawberry. They also have an Amazon Pure flavor that can be purchased in frozen smoothie or açai concentrate. New to Sambazon are sorbets and juices which also vary in flavor.

One thing that science has found to be useful in staying healthy is antioxidants. These molecules break down dangerous oxidants that would otherwise attack healthy cells, often killing them. There are several foods and drinks which are high in antioxidants, and it seems that it is the new fad. One of the foods highest in antioxidants is the açai berry found near the rivers, swamps and other waterways of the Amazon jungle. When the açai berry is freeze dried, it has its highest count of antioxidants. Antioxidants in the body include vitamin e, vitamin c and glutathione which can be found in many different foods. Vitamin C is quite possibly the easiest vitamin, or antioxidant, to find as it is available in any citrus fruit. Not only can antioxidants be found in foods and drinks, it also has some industrial uses. Antioxidants are found in some cosmetics and also prevent the breakdown of rubber and gasoline. Antioxidants have several benefits to our health other than breaking down unhealthy oxidants. There are quite a few studies that link antioxidants to cancer prevention such as the research done on antioxidants and prostate cancer. It might also help in the prevention of hearing loss. There is also one study that links diabetes to a lack of antioxidants in the body. New studies have found that honey is a good source of antioxidants, the lighter colored ones being the most beneficial. So along with a healthy diet, plenty of foods including antioxidants, and exercise life can be wonderful.

Found in the Amazon jungles, the açai (a-sigh-ee) berry is loaded with antioxidants and other health improving vitamins and minerals. Never heard of it before? It is also called the Assai palm in English. The açai berry is small, round, and dark blue to purple or black in color and is found on trees that grow close to rivers and swamps. The whole entire plant has uses, but only the berry and its stem are consumable by humans. The stem, heart of palms, is normally found in salads. However, to extract the stem means certain death for the tree itself because no new branches will grow. This, and the fact that it is very expensive to pay for the labor of cutting the trees down, heart of palm is considered a delicacy often called “Millionaire’s Salad”. Unfortunately, this has led to illegal harvesting of the stems. The berries themselves aren’t all that inexpensive, either; a tree produces a harvest once every two years. The berry is mostly comprised of the seed (it takes up eight percent of the fruit), the pulp and the skin. Recent studies have found that the fruit, when freeze dried, is high in calories, fat, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Some researchers are calling this the new super fruit. Since the açai berry begins to decay soon after harvesting, it is made into juices, powders or freeze dried outside of its growing area. Açai berries are eaten cold in southern Brazil, and in the northern regions of the country, it is popular to serve them in a pudding type dish with tapioca and occasionally sugar. The most popular way to consume the açai berry is to use the juice and fruit pulp in juices, smoothies and even sodas. This makes it easy to market world wide, as there’s a longer expiration time table on the powders and juices of the açai berry in these forms. This has helped the economy in many ways. The rest of the açai tree is very resourceful as well. The seeds of the berry is used to feed farm animals or as an organic compound in soil for planting, and has been found to be used in making jewelry and keepsakes. Leaves can be stripped down and used for making things such as hats, mats, and can even be weaved into baskets. The açai leaves are often used for brooms and thatch roofs for homes. The trunk bears a wonderful wood that is a repellant to pests so it can be used for construction. It is yet unknown how long the açai berry has been consumed, but researchers have conducted studies and found that there are no long term side effects to the consumption of this fruit.
