One bay, the newly discovered "stars" antioxidant plants is açaí (ah-sigh-ee "), the bays of Palmi (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) Who pays for the tropical regions of Central and South America.
The species is named after the muse Euterpe of Greek mythology and the family is important Arecaceae plant. The name is sometimes called vernacular assai palm.
Açaí is known in the food Exotique functional as well as a rich flavor and dark pigmented (blue-violet) delicious fruit juices, or consumed from bottles or in combination with yoghurt and other health foods for making smoothies.
Where açaí palms grow berries and what features?
According to Wikipedia açaí is a type of tropical palms 25-30 species in Central and South America, Belize Brazil and Peru. It grows mainly along rivers, in floodplains and wetlands. They are tall, slender, attractive palms growing 15-30 m high, leaves pinnate, up to 3 m long. The result is a small, round, purple-black berries about the size of a grape. They are in groups of 700-900 branched fruit must be picked by hand. Although their appearance is similar to the grapes, the açaí has a smaller quantity of paper and a single, large seed, 7-10 mm in diameter.
What is the açaí, the obligation to the attention of consumers?
Apart from its blue color and delicious taste (hinting of chocolate), the analysis of the levels of nutrients such as a tropical açaí, the fruit, food, and no doubt an excellent antioxidant pigments.
As for the nutrients in the açaí berry was?
Although data are not published, or an independent review, the first research on the açaí shows that it is rich in vitamins A, B and C, minerals (especially iron and calcium), fibers and food protein content. It also contains an omega-3-fatty acids, beta-sitosterol (an Phytosterinaufnahmemengen inhibits the formation of cholesterol in men) and essential amino acids. The oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acids in virgin olive oil is particularly rich in açaí.
What about the antioxidant strength of açaí?
A manufacturer of açaí to their website açaí only three times the strength of the Bleuets antioxidants and eight times higher than the strawberry. The probable source for this would be unusual antioxidant dark blue pigments in the skin of the açaí berry - the large group of flavonoid anthocyanin tender, especially from two (cyanidin-3-glycoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside), isolated from the main açaí pigments.
What does medical research on the health properties of açaí?
As a new discovery, an açaí published in the online database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, PubMed, since 2004. Since only five reports directory (June 2006).
Three studies investigated the antioxidant properties of açaí, shows its strong effect against oxidizing agents like peroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. An interesting conclusion is that the antioxidant capacity of açaí cover only 10% of the identified anthocyanins. This finding shows that açaí is with other, yet unidentified phytochemical antioxidants.
In 2006 a study at the University of Florida showed that açaí antioxidants could be the faster death (apoptosis) of leukemic cells in vitro. This preliminary research shows a possible anti-cancer anthocyanin and others, like the Northern dark berries such as black raspberry and Bleuets.
With the research begins, the benefits of açaí remarkable, why not this tasty fruit in your diet?
