Brazilians have used both seeds and pulp of the acai berry for centuries for its healing and nutritional properties.
The acai berry contains essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, Omega 6, and Omega 9 plus many other vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, E, and C, and minerals such as phosphorus, calcium and potassium.
The acai berry is also a potent antioxidant, in fact it is the highest per unit value of any edible fruit in the world.
