Freeze dried acai berry
There is no other fruit in the world that is as popular as acai berry. It contains omega-3,6 and 9 oils, protein, phytonutrients, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins. Besides it contains a high level of anti-oxidants. Some people believe that the acai berry can help to slow the aging process. It also helps to fight obesity. Moreover, acai can improve energy, stamina, digestion and even sleep.
The acai berry grows on a acai palm in Central and South America. Usually two crops of this unique fruit are grown every year. However the acai spoils very quickly. So you can be sure that you won’t find it in health stores located outside of South America.
There are several ways to process the acai berry. And the most effective form of this unique berry is a freeze dried acai berry. This is the puriest form of this berry, as it contains the higher concentrations of nutrients than other processes. During this process of making a freeze dried acai the water content is removed, a rich pulp is made, which has a higher nutrient concentration than the raw fruit itself.
But first of all the berries are harvested, with the skin and pulp removed. Then they are “flash frozen” within hours of the Acai being harvested. And because of this flash freezing technology, the maximum amount of antioxidants, fibres, healthy fats and proteins are kept safe for the future customer. After that the frozen acai is transported to a processing plant. It is “non-thermally” dried there. No heat is used in the drying process, because the heat can destroy much of the nutritious value of this amazing berry. So the acai is “freeze-dried” by using “pressure”. Eventually the acai berry is ready for manufacturing and packaging. And it is marketed in the forms of powder, juice, pills, capsules and etc.
While choosing the acai product, you should pay attention on the concentration of the acai berry. The rule is quite simple: the higher the concentration the greater the health benefits you can get. So look for 100% pure organic freeze dried acai berry.
