Move Acai'd: 8 Reasons Why Bare Berries Is Better Than Acai

We all know of the hype surrounding the acai berry. Most health food stores and juice bars sell acai bowls or acai smoothies. But is acai the superfood we should be relying on? And how much does acai actually live up to the hype surrounding it?

Acai is grown in the subtropical regions of Central and South America. The berry itself only contains only 10% fruit and pulp, and the rest is a large seed. As the acai berry grows on a type of palm tree with no branches, each cluster of berries needs to be cut down manually, which makes harvesting quite laborious.

Acai is celebrated mainly because of it’s high antioxidant content. It’s also packed with antioxidants, amino acids, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. It’s also known to have an energising effect. It is however, highly perishable, and needs to be eaten within 24 hours (or freeze-dried) to reap the full benefits.

Unfortunately, as popularity of this superfood grew, so did a lot of misleading information and false claims. Acai does not contain the highest amount of antioxidants, nor is it the most nutritious berry.

But don’t get us wrong - acai is great. The world was on the right track when it started celebrating berries as a source of antioxidants. But why limit yourself to acai, when you can have a wider spectrum of antioxidants from a more nutritional product?
