Superfood of the Week: Açaí

Get your weekend off to a great start with the superfood of the week: açaí. Açaí is one of nature’s best sources of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are the plentiful flavonoid pigments found in deep red and purple fruit and vegetables. The pure juice of the açaí is packed with antioxidants, amino acids, dietary fiber, vitamin B and C, essential fatty acids and omega-3, -6 and -9. Açaí may even cure certain types of cancer.

Wow. All of those nutrients packed into a little dark-purple berry? You can easily add açaí to your daily lifestyle by drinking the juice, adding açaí powder to smoothies or eat them whole.

How do you add açaí to your menu?
