Açaí [ah-sigh-ee] Worlds #1 Superfood

In Southern California we are sometimes known as the land of “fruits and nuts” well now we may have to change to “fruits, nuts & berries” everyone in my granola loving neck of the woods are going crazy over the uber healthy superfood Açaí [ah-sigh-ee].  These little purple berries taste like a cross between a tangy blueberry with a hint of chocolate and are imported from the Amazon Rainforest. Dr Nicholas Perricone while on the Opera show declared Açaí #1 on his top 10 superfood list.

Açaí is full of antioxidants and actually contains more than ten to thirty times the antioxidant power of red wine.  They are also high in heart healthy Omega-3 Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids. They are high in fiber, calcium Vitamin E and are a great source of Amino Acids, and may also be a cure for world peace. Well that last part may be slightly exaggerated but who knows it has everything else going for it! [Via eatdrinkbetter.com}
