THE AMAZING AÇAÍ BERRY Why is the Trendy Açaí Berry Suddenly a Staple in the Diets of So Many? |  | Have you heard the buzz about the açaí berry? Pronounced “ah-sigh-ee,” it grows in the Amazon Rainforest on açaí palm trees. Some doctors and nutritionists are referring to the açaí berry as “the perfect food,” because this antioxidant-rich fruit is full of fiber and omega fats (the healthy ones!), and it’s also a good source of protein and amino acids. Açaí is turning up all over the place, in various beauty and food products. It’s easy to incorporate a little açaí into your daily life, so read on to learn how! | Açaí Product #1: Mona Vie
