Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D. - Superfood No. 1: Açai Nature's Energy Fruit
It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you've likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açai (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil , Açai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate.

I have been a practicing cardiologist in Puerto Rico for the past 12 years. I am also involved with clinical research and controlled trials for a number of international pharmaceutical companies.

I have become a staunch believer in natural therapies and antioxidants and in recent years have relied heavily upon non-invasive care for my patients.

Açai seemed instantly to be an elegant and delicious alternative to coaxing my patients into taking big antioxidant pills. The strong, scientific data profile of Açai allowed me to proceed with much confidence

Fruit juice has never been high on my list of recommended foods. No matter how natural it is, it contains too much concentrated sugar.

One type of juice, however, merits a big thumbs-up: acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee). Juice from the small, dark acai berries of the Euterpe olerace palm has been used for centuries in the Amazon rainforests to increase strength and stamina. Açai is loaded with anthocyanins, known for their beneficial effects on the eyes, blood vessels, connective tissues, and nervous system. In fact, acai contains more antioxidant-rich anthocyanins than cranberries, red wine, and grapes. (Açai's ORAC value is more than 6,000)

The Açai berry may be the most potent of all ‘forgotten fruits' - those raw, whole fruits that are little known or consumed. By any standards, the scientific facts about the Açai berry are most impressive: A protein profile similar to an egg, a fatty acid profile similar to olive oil, more than 16 phytonutrients and anti-oxidants.  A remarkable concentration of antioxidants helps combat premature aging. Açai berries also contain many valuable phytosterols. Sterols are compounds of plant cell membranes providing numerous benefits to the Human body, namely the reduction of blood plasma cholesterol.

The Acai berry consists as the headline ingredient, with 18 other all-star fruits uncommonly rich with nature's benefits.

Açaí contains concentrated levels of anthocyanins – a powerful family of antioxidants that assists in neutralizing the harmful effects free radicals can have on your body.

Through a patent pending freeze-drying process, the Acai berry captures the vital nutrients found in this delicate fruit. the Acai berry’s freeze-dried açaí powder boasts an ORAC score (a measure of antioxidant power) higher than any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, on a gram-for-gram basis.
