Acai berry powder is perhaps the most common way to get acai berries into your daily nutritional intake. Acai berry powder is made from 100% pure acai. It is produced by taking the harvested acai berries and freeze-drying them before processing them into a powder in order to increase the longevity while keeping all the essential nutrients intact.
Most people in the world will never be able to enjoy fresh acai berries. This is because acai berries ripen very quickly on the vine and therefore have to be harvested and then consumed within a few short days. Even with modern technology that allows us to package and ship perishables from all kinds of remote areas to city centers all over the world, we are not able to do so with the acai berry. The acai berry is an exception because it becomes spoiled just as soon as it is harvested.
Acai berries can be freeze-dried and shipped, but even this process renders too much lost fruit due to its quick ripening. The freeze-dried acai berries are usually used for juice concentrates. The next step in the preservation process is to dry the extract and make a powder. This is actually the most efficient way to preserve acai berries and maintain the rich nutritional value. Acai powder will last much longer than the concentrated juice version and this will ultimately help keep the price down for the general market.
Acai berry powder has all the nutritional value of fresh acai berries and because it is in powder form, you can actually take more than what you would be able to eat if you were there in the Brazilian Amazon where the berries grow in abundance.
Acai berry powder is rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and fatty acids. This combination of nutrients is very powerful. Because of this amazing nutritional profile, acai berry powder is good for many reasons. It will give you more energy and greater levels of stamina; improve your digestive system, provide you with better sleep and better mental focus; strengthen the immune system; support the cardiac system; cleanse and detoxify the body; help lower cholesterol; and much more. These are just a sampling of the most common benefits of acai berry powder.
Acai powder is usually taken by mixing it with your favorite juice, yogurt, ice, or other ingredients to make a delicious smoothie. It is filling and refreshing. It is an excellent way to boost your energy and your nutritional intake on the road to better and improved health. The convenience of the powder makes it easy to store and easy to use. The powder also has a longer shelf life than acai puree or juice. Of all the acai products available, the acai berry powder is the most convenient with the added benefit of an exotic and delicious taste.
