The Acai Berry is possibly the hottest new discovery in the weight loss market in the last decade, but the origins of the fruit are little known. Well, it originates from the Amazonian basin and grows from the Acai Palm, and has been used by the people of South America, mostly Brazil, for various centuries now for the medicinal merits it holds.
The Acai Berry diet, originating from within the Amazon rainforest, has been heralded by many experts a super food, with one example being the best selling author Dr. Perricone. Comprising extraordinary weight loss potential, the Acai Berry diet has been encircled by rapidly growing buzz since appearances on major chat shows like Oprah.
The acai berry for all of its healthy benefits is an extremely perishable fruit. It is impossible to ship the fruit in its natural state to anywhere but the closest areas. The fruit begins to perish from the moment it is harvested. That is why so many supplements and powders are made from freeze dried acai berry that has been processed immediately after the harvest.
