In Brazil, açai has become a trademark of Brazilian culture. It is incredibly popular among surfers, athletes and health and fitness fanatics.
Why?
Açai is famed its amazing health benefits. It’s a powerful antioxidant (thirty times more so than red wine), fights against free radicals, acts against aging, helps fight numerous diseases, and is rich in vitamins B, C and E, iron, potassium, calcium and omega 3.
By the way, It is a typical Brazilian dish made of frozen and mashed açaí palm fruit. It is served as a smoothie in a bowl or glass, and is commonly topped with granola and banana, and then mixed with other fruits and guaraná syrup.
