Acai Berry

Some of you have seen and questioned me about the Acai berry so I did my research and found the following information. I must say as much as it is tempting is as expensive it is at $80 a bottle. The companies marketing this are offering a free trial ($6.00 shipping) but for a week and if you don't call to cancel within that time they automatically charge your credit card and ship you your next bottle.

Brief Background of the Acai Berry and the Extract
Acai, pronounced (ah-sigh-EE) is a fruit that grows on the Acai Palm Trees in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. The Acai berry is quite small in size (similar to a blueberry) and is purple in color. Acai is basically all seed, covered in a small amount of fruit pulp and skin. About 90% of the fruit is seed - the acai seed itself is not used for products or human consumption. This is partly why the Acai Berry is in such high demand, in order to extract a decent amount of pulp it is necessary to use thousands of Acai Berries.
The acai berry has a very different taste to most fruit with a very subtle creamy after taste that some have compared with chocolate. There are a handful of stores and markets (most in CA or NY) that have started offering acai berry smoothies which is probably the closest we can come to having fresh Acai in the states. The fruit is very time-sensitive, and, if not frozen within hours of harvesting can end up spoiling rapily.

If you should decide to try the acai berry please let me know, I would love to monitor your progress along the way along with your regular exercise and nutrition. Ask me for more details if you are interested.
