Brazilian soul in a delicious, healthy bowl.
The Health Benefits.
Nutrient-dense.
This Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Amazonian fruit is an all-round health winner. The extremely low sugar content makes it a highly unusual (and very healthy) berry which stores its energy in omega fats and proteins instead of the typical glucose! Other healthy contents include:
Phytonutrients give açaí its vibrant purple colour and are also known to boost the immune system and reduce the likelihood of heart diseases and cancer.
Essential Amino acids can’t be created by the body so its lucky açaí is full of them! They help to breakdown food and repair body tissue.
Antioxidant rich.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) developed a unit of measurement for antioxidant capacity in food, the ‘ORAC’ unit (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Foods with a higher ORAC score, have a greater antioxidant response against free radicals. Açaí is the highest scoring berry. Antioxidants flow around the body neutralising free-radicals and protecting your system from oxidative stress.
Wholesome energy.
Contains 19 of the 20 amino acids for building muscle and regulating immune functions. Complimented by healthy omegas 3, 6 & 9 for sustained energy throughout the day. Giving açaí its wholesome creamy texture and a healthy boost to your brain function.
