Recently the media has portrayed acai as the number 1 superfood. This is because the very high concentration of antioxidants, omega fatty acids and other good fats, carbs, fiber, amino acids and other nutrients is responsible for the many health benefits that acai has to offer. Below is a nutritional analysis of some quality freeze dried acai products Nutritional analysis (per 100g):
carbohydrate
52.2g
fat
32.5g
amino acids
8.1g
antioxidants
**
phytosterols
**
** Micronutrient — not a significant contribution by weight.
Most of the media attention that has surrounded acai has been due to its extremely high level of antioxidants. However the carbohydrates (and fiber), “good” fats, amino acids and phytosterols also play a huge roll in the benefits of acai.
