Why can't I find Acai Berries in the supermarket?

Whilst acai berries have received literally hundreds of endorsements from celebrities such as Brad Pitt (he used Acai during the filming of 'Burn After Reading') and Julia Roberts the only (and best) place to find this antioxidant rich supplement is online.

Acai Berries were originally found and grown in the Amazon rainforest. It is a very small grape like fruit, if you try and find this in your local shop or supermarket you are very unlikely to find it, and almost certainly not fresh - unless of course you live in the Amazon!

Fresh acai berries once picked rapidly start to lose their effective nutrients once picked. After 24 hours from harvest fresh acai berries loses much of it's potency and goodness. This means that unless you really do live in the Amazon rainforest then getting fresh Acai is practically impossible.

Luckily modern scientific advances in freeze-drying have meant that the natural potency found with the acai berry can be more readily preserved. Once freeze-dried the acai can then be formed into supplements, powders, juices and capsules.

Even with these advances in science it's still difficult to find acai berry products.

After going through the complex process of freeze-drying and processing into a supplement form the cost of acai berries has risen immensely. The most affordable and practical way to purchase acai products is to buy online.

If you have a look on google you can find a large range of sources (some more reputable than others) for this highly nutritious source of antioxidants, they can send their supplements/juices all over the world. What you really need to check out is the quality of these products - make sure you do your research.

What to look for when buying Acai Berry products online

Perhaps the most important thing to look out for is to see how the acai berry has been processed. If the berry hasn't been flash-freezed then avoid buying at all costs. If you do buy an acai product that hasn't been flash-frozen then you could be buying something that may have lost much of it's potency and life-enhancing nutrients.
