I'm interested in trying Acai berries, but do not know much about them as far as what to look for, what brands are fake, what brand should I purchase.

I would like any information on it if you have tried any form of the berries before i.e pills, concentrate...

I had a Acai Sorbet from Haagen Daas. I just checked the ingredients and they are water, the berries, sugar, corn syrups and lemon juice... no other fruit (like how some 'pomegranate' juices are mostly grape juice to save the company money). So the berries probably taste similar.

I liked it a lot. It taste like Tamarind to me and I really like Tamarind. The sorbet was a little gritty though...but I don't know if that has anything to do with the berry.

Furthermore, it contains the usual minerals and vitamins that are carried in most fruits.


Anthocyanins has been classified in the "group" of plant compounds known as Flavonoids.

My husband has had the juice. It was just like drinking any other juice, except it cost WAY more.
