Benefits of Organic Acai Berry
Posted on 18. Aug, 2010 by admin in MonaVie EMV
Acai berry is such a rage in the western world in general and the United States in particular that marketers are using its popularity to make a quick buck. There are a plethora of acai berry products in the market and it is difficult for an average American to identify the spurious products from the original ones.
Being well-informed about the acai berry, its source, processing, etc is the only way to ensure that you procure the original and pure fruit or fruit products to derive optimum benefit. Organic acai berry can be purchased in the form of juice or pulp or freeze dried whole fruit.
Fresh acai berry fruit is not found in the United States. The acai berry is found on palm trees in the rainforests of the Amazon river basin. The active ingredients of the fruit lose their potency within 24 hours after they are plucked. Therefore the whole fruit or pulp has to be processed or freeze dried to ensure that the active ingredients, flavor and taste of the fruit remain intact.
The acai berry has a large seed surrounded by a thick pulp. The seed is not of much significance as it does not have any purported nutritional value. It would be better to avoid products bragging about the spectacular effects of acai seed.
Authentic organic acai berry is immediately processed after harvesting to ensure that the nutritional potency is intact. Sambazon is one of the original reputable companies selling organic acai berry. Always remember that organic acai berry is a tad expensive and will cost approximately twenty dollars. But the health benefits far outweigh the cost.
Companies that sell pure organic acai berry mention the same on the product label. They market their products through local grocery stores and supermarkets. Though they do sell their products online it is only for wider and better accessibility. Spurious marketers on the other hand will pester you to go for a free trial.
Pure organic berry is unfiltered and pasteurized. The whole fruit is either freeze dried or the juice is extracted, packaged and then transported. Organic berry does not have any additives or fillers. Avoid products that have sodium, caffeine or sildenafil on the label.
Do not purchase products that boast about a proprietary formula as organic acai berry has no other ingredients except pure unadulterated acai. It is prudent to purchase organic acai berry from companies that are certified by the USDA to ensure authenticity.
