The acai berry which grows in the Amazon rain forest is a fruit of the acai palm tree. The fruit is dark purple in color and is 90% seed. The 10% that is pulp is what is the usable product of harvesting the acai berry. Since the acai berry spoils quickly, within 24 hours, methods of preserving the fruit prior to spoiling proved challenging.</p>
<p>A common method that is still used is to spray the acai berries with a chemical like Maltodextrin which is used in drying the acai berries. The Maltodextrin is not removed from the heated and dried acai berries. More than 40 %of the acai berries powder that is made from heating and spraying the acai berries is really Maltodextrin. Although an added ingredient, FDA regulations do not require that it be listed in the ingredients panel of the acai powder being sold as dried acai berries. Not only does the heated drying of the acai berries kill many of the nutrients found in acai berries, but the drying agent is now almost half of the supplement that you believe to be pure acai berry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Z672RM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=allabobow06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001Z672RM">Perfect Acai</a> is a procedure that utilizes EarthFruits 100% organic freeze drying of the fruit. Within hours of picking the acai berries, between 12 and 18, the berries are freeze dried using a totally organic freeze drying EarthFruits method. Perfect acai berries are not sprayed, rinsed, have added fillers and are pure freeze dried acai berries.</p>

There is also a perfect acai combination of acai berry with organic codyceps and 100% wild-crafted rhodiola rosea.</p>
<p>As an alternative to traveling to the rain forest and eating fresh acai berries, perfect acai freeze dried acai berries is the wisest choice. The high anti-oxidant value of acai berries coupled with their rich unsaturated Omega fats makes the perfect acai product the perfect supplement for the health conscious consumer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small purple berry that grows on the Acai Palm Tree in the rainforests of Central and South America has taken the nutritional world by storm within the past few years. But exactly what is the acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) and <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/what-is-acai/">what is acai</a> pulp?</p>
<p>The acai berry is related to other fruits well known for their antioxidant benefits, including the cranberry and the blueberry. Most of this berry is comprised of tiny seeds, with about one-fifth comprised of acai pulp, that fleshy part of the acai berry interior not taken up by the seeds. The taste of acai pulp combines the flavor of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries with just a hint of dark chocolate.</p>
<p>The acai pulp and skin is the most valuable part of this unique Amazon rainforest fruit, the part that contains the nutrients and antioxidants. The consumption of foods with high antioxidant properties is important for the human body to boost and maintain the immune system. Antioxidants such as those contained in acai pulp help remove dangerous toxins from the body that weaken the body&#8217;s defences against diseases, bacteria and infections like the flu.</p>
<p>There is a growing body of research that antioxidants greatly reduce the possibility of cancer and heart disease. Acai pulp contains two powerful antioxidants called anthrocyanins and flavanoids, both of which help to remove free radicals from the cellular system, strengthening the body&#8217;s ability to rejuvenate and remain strong and healthy. There is also growing evidence that consuming foods like acai pulp can help prevent the signs of aging in addition to stimulating weight loss.</p>
<p>How can you incorporate acai pulp into your daily health and nutrition regimen? Many people take a tip from those living in places like Brazil, for instance, where acai smoothies and bowls of acai pulp are two commonly offered menu items that people enjoy on a daily basis as a snack.</p>
<div style="margin: 5px; float: right; width: 346px; height: 290px;"><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
google_ad_client = "pub-1105926169178777";
/* 336x280, created 12/19/09 */

// ]]&gt;</script><br />
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></div>
<p>In order for acai berry pulp to retain its nutritional value and strength, the pulp must be extracted from the fresh berries within 24 hours after harvesting them, and then frozen in order to prevent the health-giving pulp from losing its potency.</p>
<p>Acai pulp can be used in recipes virtually anywhere you would use berries. Combine acai pulp with club soda water for a refreshing beverage. Blend it with crushed ice and vanilla yogurt to create a satisfying smoothie. Acai pulp can be blended into your favorite fruit juice to boost the antioxidant content.</p>
<p>There are no side effects to enjoying acai pulp when eaten in moderation, although individuals who have berry or pollen allergies must use caution when consuming <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/acai-pulp/">acai pulp</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, when referring to the Acai, we immediately think of the Acai palm tree; a tall fruiting palm tree found mainly in Brazil. It was named by the natives who lived on the land known as the ‘ica-ica’, which means ‘the fruit that cries’. This is a very unusual name but it has a story behind it all.</p>
<p>Years ago lived an Amazon Indian girl named ‘Iaca’ and her father was her tribe’s chief. Their tribe had outgrown their food supply so the chief then declared that all newborn babies be killed until the food supplies were sustainable again. When Iaca, the daughter of the chief, had a baby it was also ordered that her baby be killed.</p>

<p>The mother mourned her death for days until one day, heard the sound of a baby crying and followed it into the jungle. She came across a palm tree covered with purple fruit. She told herself that if this food has been found earlier she would still have her baby. Iaca then leaned against this new found tree and died.</p>
<p>Members of the tribe began to look for Iaca the next day and found her body under this tree and the food that could have save Iaca’s baby and so many other peoples. The chief of the tribe declared that this tree be named after Iaca; it was called the acai tree (Iaca spelled backwards). The tribe had a new source of food, the death order was lifted and the tribe prospered.</p>

Some of its other benefits include improvement of the digestion, reduction in cholesterol, increased energy, better heart health, and weight loss.</p>
<p>This has people wondering where this little miracle berry comes from and if they can grow their own. Eating fresh acai berries does provide you with the highest possible potency of the berry’s properties than merely taking a supplement. From the time acai berries are picked, the beneficial properties of the berry only have a 24 to 48 hour lifespan unless they are freeze-dried.</p>

<p>Growing your own acai berry plant is not an easy task. Acai berry is the fruit from an acai palm tree that is native to the riverbeds and waterways of South America. It has adapted to its natural habitat and grows well in very wet soil. They can get as tall as 99 feet and their leaves can be 9 feet long. The people that live in the rain forests here have been eating the acai berry for years. In fact, they even use acai berry plants for building materials. The natives use the huge leaves of the palm as roofing material for their houses.</p>
<p>Unless you live in a very tropical climate, you will not have much luck growing your own acai palm. They do not like temperatures that fall much below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and will not tolerate a frost. Some people attempt to grow the palm in their houses, but generally the air isn’t “tropical” enough to support its growth. An acai plant could be grown in a greenhouse with humidifiers in the summer and heated in the winter, but the height in which these palms can grow would eventually be an issue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Acai palm tree consists of seven species of palm that make their home in Central and South America. The plant is fast growing. Under the right conditions a seed only takes a few months to grow into a seedling. It is also an abundantly producing tree, producing two crops of around 900 berries per crop.</p>
<p>The Acai palm is not just used for the berries or fruit it produces. It is actually quite a versatile plant. The leaves are used to make hats, mats, baskets, and are even used for thatching on roofs.</p>
<p>The wood makes an excellent construction material because of its resistance to bugs. The heart of the palm is a common ingredient in salads. The sap of the Acai palm has medicinal properties and is used as an astringent. The roots are often used for gastrointestinal issues.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/">Acai fruit</a> is round and either purple or green. This depends on the type of Acai however the more commonly known and used are the purple <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/acai-berries/">Acai Berries</a>. It is approximately 1 inch in size 80% of the berry is made up of the seed. The remaining 20% are skin and pulp which is what is used to make Acai juice, pulp and powder.<img class="alignright" title="Acai Palm" src="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/acaipalm.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="360" /></p>
<p>The seeds are ground and put into soil to increase the nutrient content, placed in the food of livestock and are often used to make things like jewelry or souvenirs.</p>
<p>In some areas of Brazil the Acai makes up more than 40% of the diet. <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/acai-juice/">Acai juice</a> is placed in a variety of different drinks from energy drinks, smoothies and even sodas. It can also be added to mixed drinks and cocktails. Ice cream, sorbets, yogurt, puddings, granola or just a dish of the pulp itself are common foods that contain Acai.</p>
<p>The Acai palm has not been able to be cultivated outside of South and Central America however efforts continue to attempt to introduce it into other areas. The fruit is not viable long after harvest which is why it is exported as a <a href="http://www.the-acai-fruit.com/recommends/acaiberrypowder.html">powder</a>, juice or pulp that has been frozen or dried.</p>

<p>Studies have been conducted into the value of the sawdust that is created during the milling process for possible use in the generation of energy. Since the inner portion of the tree is high in a number of minerals there are studies ongoing to see if this can be made into a viable source for these minerals.</p>
<p>Even the ash has value as an ingredient for fertilizer. This is in addition to the medicinal and nutritional benefits provided by the edible parts of the Acai palm.</p>
<p>The entire Acai palm from berries to roots can be used in some form of fashion for a variety of purposes making it one of nature&#8217;s gifts and a highly valued and regarded natural commodity.</p>
