The inhabitants of the Amazon rainforest use acai berries in many different dishes - from acai drinks and shakes to breakfasts and bars. Brazilians use açaí to flavor meat and fish entrees, too, topping dishes with a pulpy, curd-like substance made from the acai fruit.

Not only does acai provide a delicious taste to complement food, it is also known around the Amazon region for its amazing health benefits. Among the acai health benefits are the treatment of digestive problems, skin irritation, sexual dysfunction, and even insomnia. The acai berry is naturally low in sugar, too.

Only in recent years have the residents of North America discovered how açaí makes them feel energetic and healthy. Take a trip to your favorite smoothie place and you might find açaí as one of the add-in ingredients available to you. Not only are consumers finding the benefits of açaí berries to their liking, but researchers and the media are amazed by the power of this small berry. NBC's Today did a feature story on açaí in 2004, and more recently researchers at the University of Florida tested the attributes of acai berries to discover they actually destroyed cultured leukemia cells!

Will acai berries cure cancer in humans? Researchers are not 100% certain. However, we are certain that acai berries possesses some very strong health properties that may benefit people in the long run.

Can you eat the berries directly from the acai tree?

Yes, but only if they are local to you.

It is believed that beverages containing açaí are more popular than milk in the southern hemisphere. That's because South Americans know they are getting a pure, healthy drink that benefits their alertnesss and well-being, and it gets them through the day.
