The world\’s largest rainforest, the Amazon\’s borders extend into eight countries. The Amazon River basin contains one fifth of the world\’s fresh water supply and the area is teeming with wildlife of all sorts. One third of all animal and plant species on Earth may be found in the Amazon.

It is in this lush, flourishing environment that the acai berry grows. According to sources, the native Amazon tribes use almost 2,000 of the 3,000 known rainforest fruits for remedial purposes. The acai berry is one of the most potent and powerful of these fruits.

People in the Amazon region have known of the benefits of the acai berry for a long time now- but around 1990, this fruit began to gain some exposure to the outside world as well. Now, the acai berry and its health and nutritional benefits are available to the world.
