Acai has a very short period of time after picked before it rapidly degenerates and all of its healthy properties go away.
To counter this there are various methods to process the Acai berries once harvested
The only reliable one is mentioned below and this is aprocess called freeze drying, again many companies do not use this technique and use high temperatures to dry the fruits, this results in the berries losing many of their nutrional benefits. Also the products can be pasteurised which again results in the loss of nutrients
The product is freeze dried in a process employed to dry up fruits with high technology for products that are extremely sensitive to high temperature. Moisture is removed from the product using a very low temperature and a vacuum there's no pasteurisation or heat used! The procedure keeps the product taste intact, fresh and in its natural color. It preserves nearly all of its vitamins, enzymes and nutrients, primarily carotene, anthocyanin (antioxidant) and vitamin C
If you are buying an acai product determine how the product was processed, it can make a big difference in the benefits you receive.
N.B
Some acai berry products are not processed at all, this is worse as the nutritional benefits will be gone prior to you receiving it. Avoid.
