The acai berry is a reddish-purple fruit that comes from the acai palm tree, native to Central and South America. These berries are one of the most popular organic solutions for a wide range of health concerns. The Brazilian ‘superfood’ certainly packs a lot of nutrition that can be beneficial to your health.
