Is Acai Juice That Good?

It is common to see acai juice in a supermarket nowadays. The juice is made from a little berry called the acai berry. The berry is found largely in South American rain forests, swamps and floodplains. The trees on which this fruit grows on is a type of genus Euterpe palm tree, usually referred to as the acai palm tree for short. They are native to Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru.

When the acai berries are young, they are green in color. When they are older, they turn more purple. Some of them are very dark purple but others are lighter in color. An acai palm tree are very tall trees and can grow as tall as 15 to 25 meters high and near the top of the tree are the little acai berries in bunches, similar to grapes.

The health benefits of this fruit has been known in South America for centuries. The berry has both nutritional and medicinal benefits. Typically, they would drink the acai juice made from pulping the fruit or consume the acai pulp itself.

The little purple fruit has now made its way outside of its native countries and is being seen as an excellent addition to a healthy diet. The acai fruit has been a popular fruit in Brazil and Peru but now it is also a hit in the US. In the US, however, there are no fresh acai berries, only acai juices. Since the acai palm trees do not grow in the US, drinking acai juice is the only option for people of the United States.

There used to be just a few acai juice manufacturers but now there are many. Two popular and reputable acai product manufacturers are Sambazon and MonaVie. Sambazon has a wide range of acai fruit juice and they also introduced the Amazon Energy acai drink. MonaVie is an MLM company with a proprietary blend of acai juice. They claim to have thoroughly researched the berry and its health benefits and have come up with a blend containing all the best nutrients you can find in fruits.
