Acai berries are full of essential nutrients, including antioxidants (acai berries actually have a higher ORAC value than blueberries and pomegranates), vitamin A, fibre, calcium, unsaturated fatty acids (especially omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids), and amino acids. The rich nutritional value of acai berries gives us energy, detoxifies our body, strengthens our immune system, lowers cholesterol levels and the risk of cancer. Also, eating acai berries gives us glowy skin and youthful complexion.
