Superhealthy Supertasty Superfood

Acai products from Sambazon - one is the 'Supergreens Revolution" - a blend of acai, mangos, bananas and Amazing Grass Supergreens (TM) which deliver powerful green phytonutrients.

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee)this purple little berry grows in the Amazon Rainforest and is an incredible source of antioxidants (more than pomegranates and blueberries), healthy omega fats, fiber and protein - making it one of the healthiest fruits on the planet.

Get with the purple berry

Quoting the owners of Sambazon: We had our first taste of acai on a surf trip to Brazil and were instantly hooked on its rich berry-cocoa flavor, pure energy and incredible nutrition. When we also learned that sustainable harvesting of acai berries help protect the Rainforest, we made it our mission to share this amazing fruit with the world.

Today our certified organic and fair trade forest projects help protect the Amazon Rainforest and benefit thousands of local families to learn more about creating positive change in the Amazon and beyond.

In his book, the Perricone Promise, Nicholas Perricone, MD, says of the Acai berry:

"It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you've likely never heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Acai is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rain forests of Brazil, acai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids."
