High Purity Acai Berry Fruit Powder
What is Acai Berry Powder?
Acai berry is a berry produced from the Acai palm tree in South America, also known as "Acai berry". The reason why it is called "Acai berry" is that Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter. Acai berry is about the same size as grapes and round in shape. When ripe, it changes from green to purple-black. In addition to eating it as food, locals often put it in ice cream and desserts as a seasoning, and even use it as a medicinal material and make cosmetics.
Acai berry powder is made by removing moisture from fresh acai berries and freeze-drying them. The sugar content in this way is crystalline in the microscopic structure and has weak water absorption, so it is very stable in various environments. This also preserves the nutrients in acai berries during transportation and is not easy to degrade.
Nutritional Value of Acai Berry
Acai berries have little sugar content, are rich in fiber, and have more unsaturated fatty acids omega-3, 6, and 9.
At the same time, the content of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, is much higher than other berries. Vitamin A helps protect eyesight and promote cell growth and differentiation; vitamin C can resist oxidation, enhance immunity, promote collagen synthesis, maintain skin elasticity, and participate in energy metabolism; and vitamin E has a positive effect on cardiovascular health.
Acai berries are also a treasure trove of minerals, rich in calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and other essential minerals for the human body. These minerals play an important role in maintaining bone health, promoting blood circulation, and regulating neuromuscular function. The iron in acai berries has a good effect on preventing anemia.
In addition to these conventional nutrients, acai berries have another ingredient that cannot be ignored, which makes acai berries from a "local specialty" to a "superfood" that is popular all over the world. According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other sources, the antioxidant capacity of acai berry powder is very strong. Compared with other berry fruits, it is 11 times that of cranberries, 21 times that of pomegranates, and more than 90 times that of kiwis.
According to research, the reason why it has such a strong antioxidant capacity is related to its rich anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are a kind of water-soluble natural pigment widely found in plants. They belong to bioflavonoids. The main physiological activity of flavonoids is free radical scavenging ability and antioxidant ability, which helps to remove excess free radicals in the body. Studies have shown that the antioxidant performance of anthocyanins is 50 times higher than that of VE and 20 times higher than that of VC.
Of course, in addition to being rich in anthocyanins, acai berries also have high-quality unsaturated fatty acids omega-9, which is a rare nutritional feature of other berries, helping us to more comprehensively supplement the various trace elements needed by the body.
