Exotic Fruits Make a Healthy Splash at Home
Fruits that are staples in other parts of the world are quickly capturing the attention of Americans.
One of the most exciting discoveries is the acai berry, pronounced AH-sci-EE. This deep purple berry grows on palm trees in Brazil and has been a staple there for centuries. "Good Morning America" even highlighted acai juice in their "Next Big Things for 2006" list.
With a unique flavor reminiscent of blueberries and red grapes, acai berries themselves aren't available in the U.S. due to their fragility, but their juice is widely sold.
Health Benefits
Acai berries are packed with antioxidants that play a crucial role in maintaining health. These antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are harmful compounds that can damage the body and lead to health issues like aging, cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
Free radicals are naturally produced in the body, but factors such as cigarette smoke, pollution, and stress can increase their presence. Antioxidants act as protectors, preventing free radicals from causing harm. Many fruits and vegetables contain these beneficial substances, highlighting the importance of a colorful diet.
Acai is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and boasts over 50 different antioxidants, including anthocyanin ?" the powerful compound also found in red wine and blueberries.
Bossa Nova, a company dedicated to harnessing the power of acai, offers a line of pure acai juices made from wild-harvested berries and sweetened with organic agave nectar. After five years of research to maximize antioxidant content, their juice is available in grocery stores like Kroger, Shaws, Wild Oats, and Whole Foods Market, as well as in specialty stores.
