My Acai Blog!

Lately I have been hearing so much about this "Acai berry" that is so powerful and good for you, so I decided to do some research and figure out what everybody is so excited about. I'll be posting new information as as I find it over the next few weeks.

I'll start by sharing a little bit of background information I found about the berry. It comes from a tree in the amazon rainforest where indigenous people have been enjoying its health benefits for centuries. Along the banks of the amazon, farmers would harvest the juice of the berry and drink it like water. They were known to drink up to 2 liters of the juice every day! To this day, people in the region add Acai juice to just about everything, including ice cream, sweet candies, and even liquor.
