Açaí berries are antioxidant powerhouses from the fruit of the palm tree, Euterpe oleracea, which grows in Central and South America. They have 10x the antioxidants of purple grapes and 2x the antioxidants of blueberries. Açaí berries contain 19 different amino acids, including an optimal combination of essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Açaí contains 8 grams of protein per 100-gram serving. They also have essential fatty acids, in the form of Omegas 3-6-9, as well as beneficial flavonoids, magnesium, and potassium. Try this superfood in the following vegan ice cream!
