The Acai berry from the Amazon jungles is imported in forms like Acai Pulp, Puree, or in freeze-dried forms; these forms are then processed in USA to make the other Acai supplements like Acai juice or capsules. The final Acai berry products in united states are made from Acai berries processed by using different methods like freeze drying or spray-dried. The nutritional value of the Acai supplements fairly depend how the fresh Acai berries are processed because some processing methods preserve the most nutritional value of fresh Acai berries while others may lost most of it.

The Acai berry supplements made from Acai extracts do not contain the Acai berry as the central ingredients; while Acai supplements made from the spray dried Acai berries may be OK but they add an additive maltodextrin, and these additives eat up the nutritional value of the Acai products. The best Acai supplements are those made from the freeze-dried Acai berries because freeze-dried Acai berries preserve about the 90% of the nutritional value of the raw Acai berries, which then transfers to its products.  Some Acai products are also developed from the Acai berry seeds but they are less effective because Acai berry seeds don’t have any nutritional power and vitality.

Until now we were discussing the health benefits offered by the Brazilian Acai berries, today I’ll also write about the social benefits; Acai helps Brazil to save its environment. Brazil is famous due to its diverse agricultural sector and the Amazon rain forest of Brazil are known as the heart of various diverse plants that offer such fruits we can find nowhere, Amazon is also famous due to its beautiful beaches which are of great attention for the tourists.

Though there have been huge Amazon rainforest to protect the country from being polluted their survival was in danger when people from the Amazon started cutting the tall Acai palm trees to for sale to earn better living; they also cut down the Acai palm trees to obtain a section that they use in salads, as a result of this cutting the volume of rainforests dramatically increases.  But now the Amazonian no more cut down the Acai palm trees, rather they are harvesting more and more Acai berry; the reason behind it that they are enough lucky because their small Acai fruit got international attention and many million dollar companies established their Acai processing facilities in Amazon; these companies export the Acai berries from Amazon and also share the profit margin with Acai berry producers. The Acai berry harvesters are getting good prices of their fruit using this money to harvest more Acai fruit.

The Acai berry is currently limited to western word but once it hits the other regions of the world there will be more chances for the Amazonian to earn more money by harvesting more Acai because Acai berry cannot be exported freshly and its sub products need large quantities of Acai frozen pulp or freeze-dried Acai berries. We all always play a role in promoting and saving that precious rain forest by consuming Acai products like Acai juice, Acai powder, pills or pulp.

Well, today’s article is not about the health benefits of Acai berry, its pulp and so on, rather it’s all about the Acai berry seeds or pit. Today when looking for new information on the Acai berry fruit I came across unique but amazing Acai beery news on its sees that how they can help us in household savings.

The Brazilian Acai berry is small in size with only 10 % edible pulp and remaining 90% is made up of seeds or pits which just like Acai berry tastes awesome. In Brazil people normally don’t eat Acai seeds they use it for reproducing the Acai berries or mostly as a livestock food especially for pigs, they even use it in their jewelries. Like Brazil in USA too product developed from the Acai berry seeds or pit often labeled as endocarp are often not recommended and avoided.

Amazon palm trees of Acai berry produces fruit twice an year it means we may have tons of seeds, there is nothing to useless on this earth and the same I found in my new Acai findings for its seeds. The recent Acai news is that its seeds or pit can be used as fuel in our home stoves to produce energy; they can be burnt in wood pellet stoves if we do have them in bulk; it will replace the either the woods in these stoves which will cut down the trees cutting and save the environment from pollution, there is possibility that future advancements in technology will made it possible to use the Acai berry seeds in traditional gas stoves as biomass and save the gas for other commercial purposes. However these are just possibilities no proof, the person who wrote the actual blog was burning some cherry pits but not the Acai berry pits, he was working on the possibilities if Acai berry seeds can produce enough energy. I’ll keep an eye on this and see if something positive comes out of this.

If this is really possible to use the Acai berry seeds or pit as biomass to produce energy then it would really be a miracle of the Acai berry and it will serve the consumers as well as the country.

The Amazon Acai berry has obtained the rank of staple food that contains a good series of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals; Acai is consumed in many forms like fresh, powdered, capsule, and freeze dried and in liquid form but it’s not possible to collect the fresh Acai berries in a basket daily because it cannot be grown outside Brazil and if someone wants to preserve the nutritional benefits of the Acai fruit he should process the fresh Acai berries soon after they leave their parent palms.

The small Acai berry is said to be world’s most nutritious food that help our body to detoxify itself; the Amazon Acai berry is a mega-vitamin fruit that cleanses the body and can dramatically reduce the bad cholesterol level.

Amazon rain forests are famous due to a number of reasons, however, the Acai Berry from these rain forests is the most popular. The berry though a small sized fruit and a lot has been said and written about the amazing health benefits linked with Acai berry fruit.

Today I’ll suggest some of the business that can be establish out of Acai berry; though many of them are already owned by some pioneers but still its use is limited to juices, powders, pills and frozen pulp. Acai berry from Brazil is still new to western world and I did not hear about in any way in Asian countries.

People with good financial standings can invest into Acai berry direct export business from Brazil and use them in developing their own Acai products or they can resell them to others who find it difficult to obtain pure, organic Brazilian Acai berries. You should make sure that your exported Acai berries are properly processed and preserve the maximum nutrients. Please note that doing this yourself is very difficult and takes a big capital investment which is why it is better to become an affiliate of an established company.

You can become an Acai retailer or wholesale distributor of freeze-dried exported Acai berries or of any reputable Acai supplement maker like Amazon thunder and you can sell them in your local area. Amazon Thunder has a great affiliate program.

Acai fruit has been proved good for curing diseases and found good for enhancing beauty like skin, eyes; if you are in cosmetic or pharmaceutical industry, you can give your products a new, healthy touch.

Acai berry is being used in luxury items like candies due to its chocolate like taste, in restaurants with different smoothies, with other juices; in case of a professional cook you can introduce new Acai recipes and give your career a great push.

One major but most profitable business would be to introduce Acai berry outside western world especially in Asian market; at present there are few companies who are willing to ship internationally so still have an option open for you.
