Where does acai come from?
Acai berries come from the rain forests which are located in the north of Brazil. It had been found that the inhabitants of the nearby area were consuming these berries from past hundreds of years and this caused a huge change in their health. When it comes to the size of Acai Berries, then their size is smaller than that of grapes and they usually crop up in clusters on Euterpe Oleracea which is a palm tree in the forests of Brazil.
Acai has been around for so many years. It was not discovered by the western world until recently. The ethnic groups and the tribes of the Amazon Rain Forest first used the berry to assist a variety of aliments due to its incredible health properties. In actual fact, it can be said that the original tribes often use over two thousand of known rain forest fruits and plants for medicinal purposes.
Acai Juice was also helped over come schistosomosis, an illness transmitted by snails. Schistosomosis has effected many Brazilians. The acaÌ berry is also used to generate an antibiotic that assists to fight against ‘Staphylococcus aureus,’ a common infection contracted mainly in hospitals.
