Antioxidants in Nature

Have you heard about açaí [asa'i] - nature's highest antioxidant fruit found in the Brazilian rain forest. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals preventing premature aging and other conditions.
Acai is one of the world’s most nutritious, powerful fruits - it comes from an Amazon palm tree. Beneath its purple pigment is a berry packed with antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids - with one of the highest antioxidant levels found in nature, açaí was named one of nature’s 10 superfoods.

Researchers are investigating its actives to be use against conditions, such as cancer.

The pulp is served in Brazil as a frozen smoothie with banana and granola, I always thought it tastes like eating earth with banana -- but became addicted to it just because it's great to your health -- I really like the version sold at JambaJuice... mixed with other fruits - it's good for you and super yammy!

Be good and be healthy!
