Acai Resource

Danielle Hope Hier of the Tampa Yoga Examiner noted the acai berry in the second part of her two part superfood reference guide. Among hot peppers, garlic, pumpkin seeds and pomegranate arils, the acai berry was noted for cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory properties and high concentration of minerals and amino acids.

Part one listed lentils for their ability to lower cholesterol and high fibre content. Blueberries were also noted for their high antioxidant traits.

While it’s no surpise the acai berry is slowly building it’s credibility, it is still relatively new to the playing field in North America. In this instance it’s noted at the end of a two part superfoods reference guide behind blueberries, flax seeds and tea. The fans of the acai berry are quick to point out the ORAC score of acai berries to be higher than any food listed in this superfood reference guide. In my opinion, the fact that it’s making it’s way into an article written by a North American yoga instructor operating out of Tampa is testament to the impact the acai berry has had in North America in such a short time.
