Why buy Acai berry? With the documentation already at hand, why would you not buy acai berries? Acai has been used for many generations by the natives of Brazil. Acai boasts 10 times the antioxidant benefits of grapes and twice that of blueberries. A comparative analysis reported that acaí had intermediate antioxidant potency among 11 varieties of frozen juice pulps, scoring lower than acerola, mango, strawberry, and grapes. A powdered preparation of freeze-dried açaí fruit pulp and skin was shown to contain anthocyanins (3.19 mg/g); however, anthocyanins accounted for only about 10% of the overall antioxidant capacity. Flavonoids are cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside. Together they deliver three times the antioxidant power of Blueberries, which in the not so distant past were considered the ultimate antioxidants. A manufacturer of acai products states on its website that acai has three times the antioxidant strength of blueberries and eight times that of strawberries.
