Using Acai

The healthy living industry is full of with products that promise more than they can deliver. Oftentimes, you will hear of some magic pill or drink or exercise machine promising to deliver a fitter and heaalthier body with little to no effort and a hefty price tag. Misleading marketing and promotional campaigns like  this have had an unfortunate side effect of making most people distrustful of such products. One of the more recent and most unfortunate victims of such insincere practices is the acai berry.

Acai berry has often been hailed by multilevel marketers as a miracle food, promising thinner and more attractive physiques in an impossibly short time in exchange for little or no effort. Most of these so-called acai based products, such as juices or pills actually contain very little acai in them, but are instead packed with preservatives, extenders, and artificial flavors. These marketers also do an injustice to consumers and the acai berry alike by neglecting to mention its other valuable medicinal and therapeutic properties.

The acai berry grows exclusively in the Amazon Jungle. There, an entire city has been built almost exclusively for the purpose of supplying the world’s demand for acai. This massive demand is fueled by acai’s high nutritional value as well as its reputation as an energy enhancer, aphrodisiac, and weight loss aid. It contains significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids which protect the heart and circulatory system while promoting tissue growth development. Acai’s high antioxidant content has been shown to slow down the effects of aging and prevent the development of certain cancers and diseases. With so many health benefits, the growing demand for acai is indeed justified. However, consumers should take care to ensure that the products they buy are made with 100% pure acai.

The problem with most of the acai-based products on the market is that unscrupulous companies aren’t required to state how much of their product is actually made up of acai. In other words, they could put in the most miniscule amount of acai and get away with selling it as a health product. There is also the issue of preserving acai correctly. Part of the reason acai hadn’t been widely used beyond the Amazon Jungle has to do with the fact that the active components in acai disappear 24 hours after being picked from the tree. This could mean that other products that do contain significant amounts of acai may be ineffective because of improper preservation techniques. To ensure that our customers enjoy the full potency of acai, Hidalgo Foods supplies only acai powderof unmatched purity, made from pulp taken straight from the berry, with no added preservatives or extenders. And to make sure that you get to experience acai’s full range of health benefits, we preserve the acai pulp by using the revolutionary process of freeze drying.

This acai powder can then be consumed in a number of ways. It can be made into a thick and delicious porridge by mixing it in a bowl with yogurt and milk, the same way it is enjoyed by the people of Brazil. It can be used as an ingredient in various baked treats, such as muffins, cookies, and cakes, or even mixed with granola to make excellent homemade healthy snack bars. It is also a popular fruit topping with cereal and oatmeal, and a welcome addition to shakes, smoothies, and any other beverage that can use an infusion of nutrition.
