Health Benefits of Acai
The dark purple color of Acai comes from pigments called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that help defend the body against free radical damage. Diets rich in antioxidants can help slow the aging process and protect against disease. Acai contains omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are critical for brain function. An essential fatty acid is a substance that the body cannot make on its own and must be derived from foods. Acai is also a great source of B vitamins, amino acids, vitamin C and calcium.
Those enjoying Acai have reported:
- More energy/stamina
- Better sleep
- Improved mental focus
- Enhanced digestion
- Lower cholesterol
- Better metabolism

Acai and Kids
Acai is great for kids. It's fun and tasty and delivers an abundance of nutrients vital for their growth and development.

Best Value
 |
Many overpriced Acai pills and juices exist on the market that contain very little real acai. You could easily spend hundreds of dollars to get the same amount of acai in just one of our 8 oz bags. Plus, Sunfood Acai is organic and freeze-dried. Freeze-drying preserves more nutrients in Acai than any other method. Most acai products are dried using high heat, which can drastically degrade nutrient content and antioxidant activity.
