Subject: What is the Acai Berry? Author: earnhome [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:24:26 03/20/11 Sun The Acai Berry has been growing naturally for thousands of years indiginously within the amazon basin, but only recently has it become known to the rest of the world. Acai grows on palm - like trees and is found in large berry heavy clumps that are then harvested by hand by local custodians. These trees grow to the height of over 25 metres, with a thin trunk with the bulk of folliage manifesting at the top of the tree. The branches are similiar to palm like fronds, and are long and ribbon - like in nature. Each Acai Berry tree has a yield of approximately 20kg of fruit every year, and much of the time the fruit is still harvested by locals who scale the tree with nothing more than a sharp knife and bare feet. The Acai Berry has such a high level of bioactivity that from the time of harvesting, there is only a window of 24 hours for processing to occur. So within this period, the fruit must be picked, transported, and processed - quite a challenge really! http://www.acaiberry-australia.com.au [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
