Acai juice is a fruit juice made from the acai berry. The acai berry commonly found in swamps and floodplains in the rain forests of South America. It is the fruit of the acai palm tree which is a member of the genus Euterpe, which consists of eight species of palm trees. These acai palm trees are native to Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru.

The acai berry is green when young. A young acai berry can be light green but its color darkens and turns purple as the berry ages. The small berries grow on top of the acai palm trees in bunches, similar to grapes. While the fruit is tiny, its stone inside is large in comparison. The stone makes up about 80% of the acai fruit. Each berry contains only a small amount of the acai pulp which is the best part of the fruit.

People native to the Amazon, have recognized the many health benefits of this fruit for centuries. The berry has both nutritional and medicinal benefits. Typically, they would drink the acai juice made from pulping the fruit or consume the acai pulp itself.

In the US, people care a great deal about their health. They welcome any healthy fruits including the acai fruit. But, there are no acai palm trees in the US so there are no acai fruits. Therefore, instead of eating the fruit, people in the US drink acai juice. As the demand for acai juice increases, more manufacturers start producing more and more products containing extracts from the acai berry.

In the past, few companies manufactured acai juices but now that they know there is demand for them, few juice companies do not have products with the acai berry on their labels. Sambazon is one of the leading companies with a lot of popular acai juices and other products. You can buy Sambazon products in most grocery stores. MonaVie is another company whose acai juice has taken the market by storm. MonaVie is an MLM company and only sell their acai juice through their distributors.

Regardless of the acai juice you are interested in, it is very important that you educate yourself on the acai nutritional facts and associated acai berry benefits before you buy. That way you are less likely to get caught up in an acai scam that is common nowadays. There are plenty of products you can buy in your local grocery stores. - 24553
