In the world of antioxidants, the darker the food, typically the higher its antioxidant properties. Fruit such as acai (pronounced “ah-SAH-ee”) and blueberry get their color from pigments known as anthocyanins. These antioxidant rich anthocyanins are vital to good health.
Acai is extremely rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and contains 19 different amino acids. It’s particularly high in calcium, phosphorus, beta-carotene, and vitamin E.
