Some Other Facts about the Acai Berry
We've all heard a lot about the acai berry. We've heard about what a great source of antioxidants it is. We've heard how it contains many different vitamins and nutrients, and we've heard that it may even help fight off some diseases and illnesses. But all of this has related to the acai berry itself, and while the health benefits are certainly excellent, there's more to the acai berry than these benefits.
What many people don't know is that the Amazon rainforest tribe uses more of the acai berry tree than just berry. These tribes actually use the palm hearts from the trees as an ingredient in salad, stuffing, and in several different creams. They also feed parts of the acai berry tree to livestock. The root of the tree can be used to stop bleeding and fight against worms and other parasites. In fact, the people in the Amazon actually burn parts of the acai berry tree. The smoke that comes from these parts acts as a mosquito repellent. It also drives away other parasites and insects. Unfortunately, this strong repellent, like the actual acai berry itself, isn't available outside of the rainforest.

Acai Juices
Information on Acai Berry Juices
Not all juices that claim to contain acai berry juice are equal. In fact, some of them may not even contain acai berry juice at all! Learning about which of these juices are the healthiest is important if you want to get the most out of your juice. The first thing to watch for is the name of the drink. If it's called an enhanced water or other type of water, check the label. Chances are these drinks don't actually contain much (or any) juice at all! Some are only flavoured, and some may contain some extract, but it's not as much as a full juice drink.
Other juices that contain acai berry juice and other fruit juices may only actually contain ten percent or less actual juice. However, again, these juices do contain a large amount of nutrients, and many taste very good, too. You may need to drink several of them to get the full benefit of the acai berry, however, since there is such a small amount of acai berry juice in these drinks. However, they are cheaper and more widely available than pure acai berry juices, which is something that you should take into account.
