The Acai Berry and why you should be interested in what it contains Acai is a berry that grows on a palm tree that occurs throughout the Amazon basin. The fruit is small and dark purple in color, resembling a grape in size. The indians of the region have a special way of preparing it for consumption. After removing the fruit from the branches, they submerge it in tepid water to soften the skin before they crush it using their hands or sometimes crude instruments. This produces a thick dark purple juice. Then it is sifted to remove the remaining fruit pieces. This constitutes an energy meal when no other food may be available.
