Acai berry is a fruit that grows in the Amazon rain forest of Brazil on a special palm tree. It is dark in color and it`s big like a grape.

The natives use this fruit as part of their diet for hundreds of years. They say it is very healthy because it contains a lot of nutrients and antioxidants. Approximately 10% of the berry contains edible pulp and skin and the remaining 90% is the seed or pit. Most of the nutrients come from the pulp and skin and the seed is normally not eaten. It tastes like a vibrant mix of berry and chocolate.

It`s not a miracle that this food is getting more and more popular, especially in America, where a lot of people have weight problems. When the acai berry was discovered, it started a big storm that hit the people like a hurricane.

Specialists say that this is not a medicine, just a food. However the market has put hands on it, so now there are a lot of products made out of it. They made juice, strong pills, weak pills, powder, acai tasting liquid and many other pocket emptying products. Unfortunately if you are not Brazilian, you cannot taste this fruit for free, you have to buy imported ones.

It`s spoken that this miracle can fight leukemia, can heal a lot of hard illnesses, and even destroy cancer cells. Some portray it like the number one superfood.

There are a lot of types of diet. Some people swear that the best diet is by making sport. Some say that smoking helps, and there are ones who say that breakfast is not allowed if you want to lose weight.
