Acai berries, the small, deep purple "super fruit" of the acai palm, contain high concentrations of phytochemicals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and amino acids. The wide variety of antioxidant compounds — including anthocyanins and flavonoids — make it one of the most potent antioxidant foods known. These compounds also have valuable anti-inflammatory properties and are effective in promoting immune system function.
