What is known for sure is that the acai berry has been consumed for thousands of years in regions of the Brazilian rain forest. It was also used as a medicine and even as a currency. In other words, the benefits of acai berry have been known and cherished in some parts of the world for a very long time. Since its introduction to the North American marketplace, acai has gained in popularity as a health food and for weight loss. Unfortunately there is little research that confirms acai berry as an appetite suppressant or as a metabolism booster. Learn more about the acai berry and weight loss connection here. However acai berry as a health food is not a myth. High levels of antioxidants such as those found in SAMBAZON Organic Freeze-Dried Acai Powder support total health. The main thing that will determine the health benefits is the method that has been used to preserve the berry. Acai is extremely perishable and must be preserved within 24 hours of harvesting to retain optimal levels of nutrients and healthful properties. Acai berry that has been preserved through the freeze dried method is the best. When you purchase acai berry products through reputable companies you can be assured of the quality and the quantity of the berry in each product. Also, the most reputable companies harvest their berries in an ethical manner, ensuring the farmers are well paid for their crops.
