>Although acai products are generally purchased on the Internet, some local grocery stores and supermarkets stock on frozen berries and even frozen concentrate

>The acai fruit is so fragile that it has to be processed within 24 hours of being picked, so transporting it fresh is close to impossible
When buying acai …
>Buy freeze dried instead of spray dried acai
>Freeze-drying preserves important nutrients while spray drying, which uses high heat, strips the acai of some of its nutritional value
>Many manufacturers use additives when extracting the acai pulp, so look for maltodextrin, dextrose, soy and other fillers
>Watch out for sweeteners such as sugar or fructose
>Acai has a great flavor on its own, so sugar is an unnecessary ingredient
>Check the ORAC results>The ORAC rating will show the
amount of antioxidants in the acai juice after it is bottled
>Say no to chemical preservatives>Acai is a natural health
supplement not to be mixed with chemicals and artificial flavors
