Brazilian Acai So what’s all the buzz about a berry from Brazil? Acai (ah-sigh-EE) is the answer. Acai is a relative newcomer to the world of specialty beverages, but not so for the natives of South America who have enjoyed the unique flavor and health benefits of the Acai berry for centuries. These energizing berries grow atop the palm trees in the rainforest of Brazil, and pack a power punch of nutrients. Together with the already popular and nutritious pomegranate, blackberry and blueberry, Acai Plus is a super-antioxidant cocktail. High in protein, fiber, and Omegas 6 & 9, the Acai berry contains over a dozen polyphenols, abundant in anthocyanins, which give the fruit that beautiful deep red, purple and blue color.
