Acai berries have long been revered by indigenous cultures of the Amazon. Considered to be one of South America's most important superfruits, they were traditionally used in the daily diet and in both ceremonial and medicinal preparations. They are a nutritionally ideal, low glycemic superfruit with balanced amounts of fiber, carbohydrates and healthy fats. They are a source of Fiber and a host of antioxidants giving them an ORAC value of 1,900 per 1 teaspoon 4g serving. The ORAC value is a measurement of the antioxidant capacity of different foods. Antioxidant flavonoids known as anthocyanins give acai berries their striking purple pigment.
