We’ve heard a lot about them in recent months, but just what are acai berries? This short article attempts to address this question that is on a lot of peoples’ lips.Acai berries are harvested almost exclusively as food in the Amazon region of Brazil. Whilst the acai diet may be growing in popularity in the US and Europe, it is interesting to note that some of the people living around those areas where acais are prominent have an acai diet almost by default: the acai berry makes up 42% of the total food intake by weight. It goes without saying that acai growth is hugely important for those people and provides their food and their income.Because the acai berry travels so badly and degrades so quickly after harvest, it is rarely eaten in its natural form outside of the immediate region in which it is grown and harvested. It is exported across the world as acai juice or acai fruit pulp. Those wanting to take up the acai diet will do well to get their hands on the fruit itself! You may have to be content with delicious acai juice in your acai diet. Not a bad compromise at all, in my view!
