Acai Roots Organic Freeze Dried Acai

Acai Roots is proud to announce the newest addition to our popular acai product selection - organic freeze dried acai. We're here to tell you that this is the most concentrated and natural form of acai available anywhere and we're sure you will enjoy the convenience of having your own re-sealable pouch of fresh potent acai that you can use any time.

The freeze drying process is perfect for preserving the healthy nutrients that fresh acai offers, especially all of the vitamins, enzymes, nutrients, and antioxidants. Like other fruits and foods that are sensitive to heat, acai must be handled without heat to ensure that it maintains its healthy properties. The freeze drying process is completely heat-free -- temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius are used to draw the moisture out of the fruit without robbing it of its nutrients. It is then packaged and delivered straight to your door so you can enjoy it at your convenience.

So if you're looking for a convenient way to include natural acai into your diet to take advantage of its wonderful health benefits, check out our freeze dried powder, now available in 1/2 lb pouches for only $29.95. Be sure to come back and let us know what you thought, and to try our other amazing acai supplements and products as well.

Acai as Part of an Anti-Aging Diet

People everywhere are looking for answers to the problems of aging -- not only its outward manifestations, like wrinkles, but also the physical and mental ones as well. Doctors of every kind recommend the obvious lifestyle changes like more exercises and a healthier diet, but many are starting to recommend very specific foods with very specific properties, with acai topping list.

In an article written for the popular online health resource Webmd.com, Kathleen M. Zelman (and reviewed by Louise Chang, MD), talks about the power of foods which have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to stave off the onset or effects of illnesses like heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and even Alzheimer's. The fact that as we get older, our bodies are more and more susceptible to the long-term effects of "oxidative stress" and cellular inflammation makes foods with the properties to fight these effects the most attractive for people looking to age well.

Citing Dr. Nicholas Perricone, she relays that the foods that are rich in antioxidants and are anti-inflammatory, are things like cold-water fish and richly-colored fruits and vegetables. Dr. Perricone, as we have discussed in previous posts, provided a list of ten "super foods" chosen for their ability to fight off the effects of age -- the acai fruit is at the very top of the list, topping all vegetables, nuts and seeds as the best food you can get with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

While this confirms what we already knew, it's always refreshing to see people who are health advocates and experts echo what we have been telling our customers and people in general: that acai is an incredible food to eat for energy, fiber, and for its rich content of omega acids and anti-oxidants. It truly is nature's super food, and we are so glad to be able to bring it to you in a way that is sure to transmit those healthy benefits. If you are new to our site and blog, check out all of the acai products we have, including acai powder, freeze dried acai, and acai supplements and get with the acai roots lifestyle!

Mix in Some Acai on the Go

For those of us on the go, it can be difficult to get the right amount of fruits and vegetables in a diet dominated by ready-made, processed food, designed for convenience and not for health. If you are someone who is on a tight schedule and struggles to include healthy choices in your meal selection, you should use our organic acai juice powder as an addition to some of the things you normally consume throughout your day.

Many people who are trying to stay healthy, but don't have a lot of time to run to the store and always have fresh fruit on hand, choose to go to store-front juice bars to get "fresh" fruit smoothies. Made with normal fruit like strawberries, bananas, mangos, and the like, these smoothies are certainly a better option than coffee, soda, or, even worse, energy drinks, but don't pack as much of a punch as a fresh, organic acai smoothie would. Don't worry though, because we have the answer for you: next time you grab a fresh smoothie from one of these establishments, simply mix in a package of natural organic acai powder from acairoots.com. You will not only replace a less healthy beverage choice with a fruit smoothie, but you will be getting all of the benefits of having blended up fresh acai berries, a fruit that trumps all others in terms of health benefits and pure energy potential!

Acai Juice Powder may be the most convenient way of enjoying the great taste and energy boost from fresh acai berries on the go. Aside from taking the acai caplets we also offer, this is the easiest way to get a daily shot of this amazing fruit and fight the aging process, get real, natural energy, and give yourself a shot of healthy omega acids and fiber. Freeze drying fresh acai pulp is the secret to giving you the ability to keep it around all the time without sacrificing its healthy benefits and allow you to take advantage even if you don't have the time to make your own fresh smoothies or other acai dishes or drinks. You can read more about the other health benefits acai offers in the rest of our blog or on our website, and you can order your freeze dried acai powder quickly and conveniently and have it delivered directly to your door. We know you will enjoy the feeling you get from getting a taste of the Acai lifestyle!

Don't be Fooled by Acai Impostors

With the increasing popularity of acai and acai products in the last couple of years, the big companies have obviously decided to try and get their chunk of the pie. Companies like V8 and Tropicana have both released acai flavors of their respective juice lines, both aimed at capitalizing on the buzz about acai's incredible health properties. Unfortunately for consumers, neither of these shelf brands have succeeded in producing a true acai product that contains the pure, natural acai that gives those benefits.

A company called Power Supplements, LLC released information in recent months warning consumers against the "disturbing trend" of mainstream companies' attempts to exploit the tremendous success of the acai berry in natural supplements, smoothies, etc. Their independent study concluded that those "pure acai" products actually contained crushed seeds rather than the skin and pulp, which truly hold the natural health properties of the acai berry. Unlike our products, these so-called natural juices are not giving you, the consumer, the real deal, but rather a substitute that will not transmit the natural energy, the healthy omega fats, amino acids, and other healthy properties of acai.

This brings up a great point for readers and users of Acairoots and natural health products everywhere. Listen to the recommendations of Power Supplements and health experts everywhere when they tell you to check the labels of all products claiming to contain natural ingredients like acai before buying. Chances are they contain only traces of the ingredient or, in this case, are using a form of it that doesn't truly deliver. Don't be had by companies who are trying to grab a piece of the acai buzz by cutting corners and failing to use the proper methods to deliver the energy-packed acai berry. There will no doubt be more and more so-called acai products hitting the market, all trying to take advantage of the buzz caused by Dr. Perricone's announcement of the acai berry as the #1 superfood and other publicity the fruit has received worldwide. It is our hope that truly discerning, health-conscious consumers will be able to see through the empty promises and health claims made by these processed impostors.

As we wrote last week, we are committed to bringing you more options for incorporating acai into your regular diet (our PROx acai smoothies) along with our traditional acai supplements, acai buckets, acai caps and other products. As always, our acai products are completely genuine and will let you experience the true effects of fresh acai.

Coming Soon - The PROx Acai Smoothie

As you may have seen on our website, we at Acai Roots are gearing up to launch our newest product - the PROx smoothie. As always we are committed to bringing the healthy, active lifestyle of Brazil to you wherever you are, mostly by providing the best source of acai and acai products right to your door. The PROx acai smoothie is not only rich in the powerful antioxidants and amino acids of fresh acai, it is a great source of protein and vitamins as well. Its flavorful blend of acai, pineapple and coconut is a perfect companion to any meal or as a mid-day shot of energy. As you well know by now if you have been reading our blog, the rich antioxidant content in acai, and now in this delicious smoothie, is a great way to manage cholesterol, fight the aging process and provide natural energy. No other commercial smoothie or beverage can boast such properties with as much taste to match!

With natural soy protein, the PROx acai smoothie boasts 5g of protein per serving, while containing no cholesterol, trans fat, or saturated fat whatsoever. All this from a drink that is bringing you the healthy antioxidants, fibers, and omega acids of the acai berry -- often called one of the healthiest berries on Earth.

Look for the PROx smoothie to be released late next month (July) or early August, and come back to the site often so you can order some as soon as they are ready. As launch time approaches we will release more information. For now you can get on our mailing list to receive the most recent updates and info directly to your inbox and come back next month to order your first shipment of natural delicious PROx smoothies!
