Antioxidants and Acai: What They Are and What They Do
Acai not only tastes great but is a well known super food. It has unusually high amounts of beneficial Omega fats, proteins, minerals, and antioxidants. There are more antioxidants in acai than in many other fruits and vegetables we find at the store.

History of the Acai Bowl
Origins of Acai
The history of the acai bowl traces back to time before memory. Throughout the Amazonian basin the acai palm thrives. The edible palm heart and berry are a vital source of food for many people of the region.
