Acai Berry

If you've heard people talking about berry diets, they are probably referring to the Acai Berry Diet based on the fruit found on a palm-like tree in the rain forests of Brazil. The Acai berry is rapidly gaining popularity in the health food community for its unusual nutritional qualities. It is touted by many as a "super food," a miracle product, a "magic berry." A lot of that, of course, is hyperbole, but there is little argument of the fact that this exotic Amazon fruit has a lot of good, healthy things going for it.

The Acai berry has been found to contain many nutritious vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, anti-oxidants and healthy soluble fiber. It is said to contain detoxifying ingredients that help the body in its natural cleansing process. The Acai berry is one of those fruits that is simply good for you, like blueberries, grapes and pomegranates. The good thing, though, is that it is probably much more nutritionally than those well known, already established healthy fruits, based on some of its uniquely inherent qualities.

Besides the natural fruit form, it also comes in the form of Acai berry juices and mixtures, as a powdered drink, and in various pills, vitamins and nutritious supplemental products. These different forms of the fruit can be found readily at nutrition stores, health food stores, on the Internet, and through various other consumer outlets.

The Acai and some of its various mixed berry juices have one thing going for it that a lot of other dietary products do not - very good TASTE. It has a very exotic, rich-textured berry taste - one that has a complex, undiscovered fruity flavor that leaves a very pleasant aftertaste. It would remind someone of the flavor difference between the everyday, pretty good taste of apples and oranges vs. the richer, more exotic taste of papayas and mangos.

The reason people are here on this site is to learn more about the Acai Berry Diet.  Does it work? Is there some miracle diet utilizing this exotic, Amazon-based fruit that will just magically make those unwanted pounds go away? The Acai Berry Diet has had some hyped up great things said about it and some controversial, negative things said about it. We will discuss both sides of the issue, and present a (hopefully) unbiased opinion from our encounters and test trials with the product.
