Açaí, and Maqui berries unite in a rich, raw dark chocolate to deliver a delicious burst of antioxidants. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Açaí has the unique taste of a vibrant blend of berries. Nature’s perfect energy fruit, Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

The Benefits of Açaí Berries

The Açaí berry comes from the Brazilian Açaí palm, also referred to as the “Tree of Life” by the Yanomami Indian. They’ve treasured the Açaí for centuries as a food that “holds unique power,” believing it gives energizing sustenance. And why not? The studies done on the berry show it does have rather remarkable antioxidant properties. Its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value, which is a scientific measurement of its antioxidant capacity, is impressive. Researchers have determined that the Açaí contains about 300 percent more antioxidants than blueberries or grapes.

Antioxidants are important for youthful health, energy, and stamina, and they help your immune system to operate more efficiently. Essentially, a diet high in antioxidants super-charges your body to fight off the effects of pollution, chemicals, and the ever-increasing onslaught of germs, bacteria, and viruses that constantly surrounds you.

Açaí has been called one of the top superfoods because of its beneficial combination of essential fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants.

Ever Hear of the Maqui Berry?

The Maqui berry is a tiny, purple berry from Patagonia, a place in South America said to be one of the most fertile regions the world over. It is also known as the Patagonia superfruit. Maqui berries were first used by the Mapuche Indians as herbal cures for illnesses like sore throat, diarrhea, ulcers, and fever. Many people call it “the tastiest of all berries.”

When Maqui berries were just becoming news, nobody realized just how much this little purple berry would conquer the world with its great qualities. Another fruit high in antioxidants, it is said (like Açaí) to assist with weight loss. 100 mg of Maqui berry boasts a super-high score of about 27,600 on the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) scale.

Maqui berries also show impressive anti-inflammatory and anti-aging qualities, and are said to improve the general quality of life as an all-in-one nutritional powerhouse.
