The acai fruit has a very broad nutritional value to humans. It has remarkable high antioxidant activity. Based on new data on the antioxidant levels of American foods that was just published by the US government, our data shows that acai has significantly greater antioxidant activity on a gram-to-gram comparative basis than any other of the fruits or vegetables consumed by Americans. Thus, a juice blend rich in acai fruit would help people meet their daily antioxidant requirements from food. "
