The acai berry is a cherry-like fruit that comes from a type of palm tree that grows in the Amazon forests. Its taste is similar to the taste of berries and chocolate. For many years it was the staple food of the Amazonian tribes who also used it as a medicine for various ailments. After all, Acai Berry is one of the fruits with the highest antioxidant content in the world.
It is found only in swampy areas of the Amazon (central and South America). This is one of the main reasons why we don't find it on supermarket shelves. However, it exists in the form of nutritional supplements in the form of powder or extract.
