Acai Juice In Your Every Day Life

November 29th, 2008 by Kingsley

Acai juice originates in Brazil where acai berries are grown and harvested by locals.. The acai berries grow on palm trees and are deep purple with a small amount of pulp.

When it comes to fruit juices it’s commonly known that the fruit is better than the juice itself. This is not so with acai. Due to the small amount of pulp contained in the acai berry, it cannot be eaten until the juice is extracted. Acai juice has a unique taste of berries and chocolate combined.

acai juice is extremely popular in its native country and it is often in more demand than milk. With its incredible nutritional value, this juice has been said to be an entire meal in itself. The Acai fruit juice is packed full of fatty acids, calcium, minerals, potassium, proteins and vitamins, all the nutrients your body needs for healthy living. During the harvesting season (July – December), the Acai berries are soaked in water to soften them up so the seed can be removed. The juice is then created from the fruit pulp using a little water and oil. Traditionally, the Brazilian natives would crush the berries to extract the juice.

Acai juice is known for its health benefits among the Brazilian natives and this knowledge is quickly spreading across the globe. Many claim that acai juice can help with arthritis, muscle irritation, pain, and the aging of our skin. Countless studies are currently being done to research the effects of acai juice on cancer, heart attacks and cardiovascular and immune system deficiencies as well.

Although the health benefits of the acai juice are great in number, there are other benefits to this juice as well. The acai berry has created a lot of jobs for Brazilians, especially with the recent boom in popularity of the product in the United States, there are a reported 60 factories in the region which produce acai products. The harvesting of the acai berry is still done by hand to protect the rain forest. Acai berries need to be processed within 24 hours to avoid damage. Teams of workers will pic k the berries and get them to the factory for processing within this time frame.

Acai Juice is definitely on the rise partly thanks to the many recognized benefits of the product. Acai Juice is safe to consume every day and should be part of every health regime.
