News, reviews, and research information about the acai berry fruit.
Acai Research
While research on acai is still in its infancy, recent discoveries look very promising for the future of acai. Since the inception of modern harvesting and processing methods, acai has become a popular export. This hadn’t been possible in the past because the acai berry loses much of its nutritional value immediately after harvest - because of this, acai has been a well-kept Brazilian secret for many years.
Popularized as “the world’s perfect fruit” and “the viagra of the amazon”, leading researchers are throwing their hat in the ring to share their view of the acai berry and its effect on human health.
