How to buy:

At the grocery store or farmers’ market, choose dry, plump, and brightly colored berries with no obvious rotten spots. Do avoid containers with juice stains – this is a sure sign that the berries either have been battered or are overripe. Also be on the lookout for moldy spots – mold travels like wildfire through berries, so avoid containers with signs of mold.

How to store:

This is important because berries are quite perishable and quite fragile…

Until you are ready to eat your yummy berries, store them unwashed in the refrigerator in a covered container. As I said above, fresh berries don’t last long and are best used within two days of purchase. Berries can also be stored in the freezer for up to four months. To freeze, spread the berries out on a cookie tray and freeze before consolidating into a smaller container.

How to prepare them for Eating:

When you’re ready to use your berries, you can enjoy them as is, or with a dollop of let’s say organic whipped cream or topping. Another idea is to top the berries with yogurt, or perhaps mixed in with some good healthy high-fiber, whole-grain cereal. Berries can even be added to salads.

The general expert evaluation is that  Acai is one of the most complete super-foods in the world. Acai is loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients. Studies detailing the benefits of Acai continue to show us the fantastic benefits of this tremendous food.

Here’s a brief Description:

It has become clear that many indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest consume over a third of their diet just in Acai fruit alone. According to research, to say Acai is nutrient rich is an understatement.

It is rich with fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein. A recent study indicated that over 19 different amino acids are present in the fruit’s pulp and skin alone. Protein-high fruit is quite rare indeed.

HOW LIQUID CALORIES MAY BE MAKING us FAT… EVEN our FAVORITE PROTEIN DRINKS!?

This is amazing, but it does make sense.

According to Tom’s newsletter, at least seven epidemiological scientific research studies have uncovered strong evidence that there’s a connection between the lack of satiety and the consumption of liquid calories. In other words, drinking calories in liquid for such as fruit juice, or protein drinks, instead of eating them in solid form simply does not satisfy our body’s appetite centers.

The most popular form of liquid calorie drinks in the US is by far sodas.

Now running a close second are specialty and dessert coffees. Did you know that a 16 ounce Frappucino can contain 500 calories or even more! That’s one-third of a typical female’s daily calorie intake while on a fat loss program.

According to this research we tend to under estimate our calorie intake, and tend to consistently disregard liquid drinks even more. So, that 500 calorie coffee drink will be over looked. And we wonder why even with a healthy diet we’re not seeing results.

Well, it could very well be that liquid drink habit that could easily add 500 or more calories to our daily intake. And we haven’t even discussed alcohol.
