Our world tour of the juices found in Healthy Blend now goes to the jungles of Brazil. Acai juice is yet another superfruit and is part of the remaining 40% of our juice.

According to Wikipedia, the Acai fruit has been used as a food in Brazil since before the Europeans arrived. In some areas it comprises up to 42% of the daily diet. However, once harvested, the Acai fruit deterioates rapidly, making it inappropriate to transport. Therefore, we use reconstituted Acai Juice in our Healthy Blend Juice.

Current research shows very high antioxident values, rich in fatty acids (particularly omega 6). Wikipedia reports the Acai fruit also contains ” β-sitosterol, a phytosterol that competes with dietary cholesterol for absorption and so may reduce blood cholesterol levels.” Wikipedia also reports of a preliminary study of the fruits effects on treating leukemia with very promising results.

This delicious fruit is one more reason to use our Healthy Blend on a daily basis.

Eating Healthy,
