Superfoods! - on The Food Channel


"Açai fruit – becoming known as a super-duper food. One of the most powerful, most nutritious of all foods"- The Food Channel

Acai Juice: "is touted as possessing greater quantities of those sought after substances than another – pomegranate. Both have been dubbed 'superfruits,' as have blackcurrants, blueberries, cranberries, goji berries, lingonberries and mangosteen, among others. The small, purple açaí berry from the Amazonian rainforest not only packs antioxidants and omega fatty acids; it also boasts high fiber and vitamin content. Virtually unheard of in the US prior to the 21st century, açaí quickly attracted several eager competitors."- FoodBev
