MarketBasket: Beverage with benefits

You may never have seen an açai (ah-SIGH-ee) berry, but the antioxidant-rich fruit from the Brazilian rain forest has about 60 percent more disease-fighting antioxidants than pomegranates, the latest superfruit to star in nutrition news.

Tart, with little naturally occurring sugar, the pure juice of wild-harvested açai is sweetened here with organic agave nectar (acceptable for some diabetics).

Along with original açai, the juice comes flavored with natural blueberry (our favorite), raspberry, passion fruit or mango concentrate.
