The Acai berry boom in the northern hemisphere may be a fairly new and exciting thing, but did you know people in the Amazon have been using the Acai berry as a medicinal super food for thousands of years? Eaten mostly as a nutritious and delicious food staple rather than what we in modern times might call a nutritional supplement, the native Amazonians first noticed the beneficial properties of the Acai berry thousands of years ago.
We have begun trading goods and information only relatively recently, so it should go as no surprise that there are still many amazing surprises waiting for us to come out of the Amazon rain forest and vicinity, the healing benefits of Acai being only one of them.

In the early days of its more local popularity in Brazil, the Acai berry was hand picked and had a shelf life of only twenty four hours! This made it next to impossible to get it shipped anywhere before it spoiled. However, people have figured out how to extend this shelf life by reprocessing the Acai berries into pulp, powder, liquid and extract forms and these remain the most popular way of transporting and consuming the product.
Before the Acai berry was distributed throughout the world, it was used in a much smaller scale at first by a Brazilian surfer who sold it as a supplemental additive to his beach side smoothie stand goods.
