Acai Fruit Pulp From Amazonia

In a recently published book by nutricionist and bestseller author Dr. Michael Perricone, Acai (speak: assa-iih) is described as the plantes most powerful health food item. As it is extremely rich in antioxidants and Omega 3 fats it has cholesterol reducing and anti-aging effects. The antioxidants in the Acai neutralize free oxigene-radicals in the human body and accordingly it is believed to have anti-aging effects and that it reduces cancer risks. The Acai-berry is the fruit of a palm tree (Euterpe Oleraceae) which grows in the Amazone-Delta, where it has plenty of sun and water. It is organically grown and collected in the tropical forest. As it is highly perishable, it is processed immediately after the harvesting and subsequently deepfrozen. Deepfreezing is the most adequate conservation procedure, as it the freuit maintains its organoleptic characteristics. Pasteurization is the second-best option because some of the valuable components partly loose their beneficial effects due to the process. The Acai fruit has become very popular among surfers, body-builders and other athletes who practice radical sports in Brazil and in USA the (mainly West Coast) . Many recepies combine the Acai fruit pulp with Guarana sirup, which is another amazing food item from Amazonia with similar mind-stimulating effects like coffee, but without the undesirable side effect of high blood pressure.
