Rich in anti-oxidants, Euterpe oleracea-martius, or Acai, is a popular fruit drink in South America. It has few to no traditional medicinal uses, but forms a part of the diet of rich and poor alike. Other than a study done in Texas showing that we do absorb the anti-oxidants from this fruit, there is little known about the validity of the claims made about Acai being a miracle worker. Anti-oxidants play a role in helpig us stay healthy as we age and it is a tasty fruit! Described by those who like the flavor as being between fruit and chocolate or a blend of wine and chocolate, Acai can be a great addition to any food or drink that needs a little fruit flavor.Excerpted with permission from Materia Medica by liz Johnson.
