Well, did you know that 70% of the plants found to fight against cancer cells are found in the rainforest. There's an even more coveted shell called the acai (ah-sigh-ee) and it comes only from the rainforest. Some people refer to the acai as one of the planet's "best kept health secrets." (I've also heard that native Brazilians call it the "Viagra of the Amazon.) Put simply, the acai berrie is full of potent antioxidants and other substances to promote good health and well-being. It is starting to gain popularity, so keep your eyes out. Yep, there's all kinds of healthy food in there. (They're not easily cultivated.) But are those the only small, dark berries.

So it's no surprise that is not that well-known here in the USA. You've probably been eating blueberries since you were a little kid.

Haven't Heard of the Acai Alecia Yet. Maybe you've had huckleberries too, which are a little harder to find since they're hand-picked in the wild.

But what's so great about this little berry.
