TOP 5 PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OF ORGANIC AÇAI

The açaí berry is the fruit of a palm tree native to northern South America, known scientifically as Euterpe oleracea . In the wild, it grows in the rainforest of northern Brazil. Its trees, also known as Açaizeiros, can reach 25 meters in height in their natural habitat and produce two harvests per year. Açaí is traditionally consumed by rainforest communities, and has been a central part of the diet of Amazonian indigenous people for centuries. The natives use it as a natural remedy for the treatment and prevention of various ailments.

It is a very perishable fruit, which explains why we cannot enjoy its fresh version here in Europe. The other option is to consume its frozen pulp, but many companies add water to reduce the high transport costs, which affects its nutritional content. Therefore, I recommend consuming açai in powder form, freeze-dried (a dehydration technique that preserves up to 98% of the nutrients) and always organic.

There are endless recipes, but the most famous is the AÇAI BOWL . If you want to learn how to make it, just download our free ebook here .

Discover below the main benefits and properties of açai and why you should incorporate it into your diet:

ANTIOXIDANT POWER

Its ORAC value positions açaí as one of the most antioxidant fruits on the planet. Its dark color reflects the presence of a large amount of anthocyanins , pigments that it shares with blueberries and blackberries. These flavonoids exert a protective action on the cardiovascular, ocular, and nervous systems. Considering how polluted large cities are and the amount of environmental toxins, drinking an AÇAÍ BOWL will be like giving your body a real health cocktail.

NO FLUID RETENTION

The potassium content and low sodium content of this berry make it a natural diuretic . If you tend to suffer from bloating, fluid retention or cellulite, include açaí in your morning smoothie. It is a good ally in weight loss diets due to its satiating power!

BEAUTIFUL SKIN

The combination of vitamins B, C and E make organic açaí a true beautifying cocktail, protecting the skin and hair, in other words, a nutricosmetic in its purest form. Consuming ORGANIC AÇAÍ will help us protect the skin from sun exposure and delay the effects of aging due to its stimulation of collagen production and its omega 3, 6 and 9 content.

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

The vitamin E present in the pulp of this berry contributes to the protection of muscles against oxidative stress caused by exercise. Consuming açaí before training will help you improve your physical performance, and taking it afterwards will facilitate the recovery and regeneration of muscle tissue.

PREBIOTIC

Another of the properties of açaí is its prebiotic fiber . This fiber is the food of the intestinal microbiota, that is, the good bacteria in our intestine and colon (probiotics) feed on prebiotics.

But be careful, not all açai are the same. Our ORGANIC AÇAI comes directly from the Amazon rainforest, where it originates. We freeze-dry it quickly after harvesting to maintain 98% of its nutrients and ensure optimal purity and quality. Without added sugars, food just as Mother Nature gives it to us.
