Acai is the newest and – if you listen to the many commentators talking about it – the best super food the world has ever seen. It contains phenomenal amounts of amino acids, essential omega fatty acids and, crucially, antioxidants. These are all very useful for the body as they help keep it fit and able to battle against diseases and infections. It has been shown that Acai can go some way to combat so cancers.

If you’re eager to go out and buy some acai then you might be disappointed: it doesn’t appear in packs in the nearest grocery store. Instead you will find a range of acai juices and acai preserves. Acai preserves are perhaps one of the more effective ways of getting the nutrients into your system because this is the nearest you can get to having the whole fruit in your food.

Having the whole fruit – as you would in acai preserves – is important because we know that the processing undergone by the fruit has been minimal. Less processing generally means more wholesome will be in the fruit, and the more wholesome goodness the more it will benefit your body and mind.

Add this to the fact that acai preserves are deliciously tasty and you have a match winner!
