Açaí is a Brazilian fruit grown predominantly in the Amazon region. With a dark color, ranging from purple to black, the rounded fruit grows in bunches and, most of the time, in places with more humid or flooded soils.

Even though it is a characteristic fruit of the Northern Region of the country, açaí has become popular nationally and is used in different ways in Brazilian cuisine, as it has many nutritional properties.

Another reason that makes açaí so special is its health benefits ranging from increased energy to reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

1. Prevents premature aging
Due to its antioxidant properties and the fact that it contains vitamin E, pure acai berry is able to protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, preventing premature aging. In addition, açaí helps maintain skin health, preventing the formation of wrinkles.

2. Strengthens the immune system
Because it is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, omega-9 fatty acids, and anthocyanins, açaí strengthens the immune system, increasing the body's defense cells and improving the healing process.

3. Lowers "bad" cholesterol
Because it has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and because it is rich in monounsaturated fats, such as omega-9, açaí helps lower blood cholesterol levels, preventing cardiovascular problems, such as atherosclerosis and angina, for example.

4. Improves bowel function
Açaí improves bowel function, because it is a fruit rich in fiber that promotes the increase in the volume of stools and stimulates natural bowel movements, being excellent for people who suffer from constipation.
