Most people are
hearing more and more about acai berry. There has been a rise in
the popularity of this tiny berry and yet, so many people have
no idea what the acai berry is. In fact, most do not know the history
of acai berry either. Some people mistakenly believe that this
fruit is actually some type of medication that has been designed
by scientists. This is not true. Rather, what is true is that
acai berry is one of the best and most powerful nutrients that
is completely natural. Its origins are from the Amazon
rainforest.
A Legend?
Unbelievably,
there is a legend behind acai berry. You will need to travel
deep into the tribes of the Amazon to learn it. These tribes
have used natural herbs and medications for all needs. The legal
is of a tribal chief's daughter named Iaca. Itaki, the tribal
chief became ill and at the same time, the tribe was dealing
with famine. The famine was so intense because no food was
available that Itaki ordered that all newborn children be
killed, in an effort to conserve the food that was available.
Iaca's child, who was born a short time later, was killed as
well, as there were no exceptions to the rule.
Iaca's grief and
depression was deep. She was in the worst forms of depression
when, one night while sitting in the full moonlight thinking of
her lost child, she thought she heard a child cry. She tried to
search for the child, believing it to be her own. She thought
she saw the child lying under a tree that had many purple fruits
on it. She was elated as this new source of fruit could help to
feed her people and even save her child's life. She held the
chill throughout the night and in the morning, the people of the
tribe found Iaca, grasping the truck of the tree, looking up at
it. She was dead.
The chief
reversed the decree of killing the children since this new tree
filled with fruit could save them. The tribal chief named the
fruit after his daughter (acai is Iaca spelled backwards.)
From that time
on, people consumed the acai berry and reaped its rewards, which
they soon learned as much more than just nourishment.
