General Info:
The Acai palm tree grows as high as *0 to *0 feet (*5 to *5
meters). The edible Acai fruit is dark purple in color when it is
ripe and has a large seed inside. Acai trees grow along major
rivers in Northern Brazil, especially on lowland flood plains.
Locals in the Amazon region often drink Acai juice made from ripe
fruits. The Acai fruit is highly perishable and must be processed
within *4 hours after harvest.
Acai is known to have very high antioxidant properties. During a
recent in vitro test, the well known antioxidant phenols and
anthocyanin chemicals were extracted from the fruit. The ORAC value
of Acai is one of the highest in the world.
The dark purple color of the fruit is due to the polyphenolic
compounds. The compound anthocyanin is responsible for creating red
to purple colors in fruits like blackberries, raspberries and
grapes. Foods and fruits, which contain high levels of anthocyanin
are known to be potent antioxidants and are being used widely in
anti-aging and to support healthy and normal cellular tissue
growth.
