Shhh.   Here are some secret and fun facts about the acai berry for kids only.  We won’t use all the typical big words that adults use when talking about this radical fruit.  Words like palmitic acid, antioxidants, and anthocyanins are for spelling bees.  

We know that anti-aging just isn’t your thing right now.  Let’s get to the fun facts and then give you some negotiating tools to get your parents to stop making you eat those smelly vegetables at the dinner table.

Acai Berry’s home in the mysterious Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest has been called “the lungs of our planet.”   Try a little experiment right now.  Take in a breath and feel your chest filling up like a balloon.   Old air is moving through your lungs and getting recycled when you breathe.   

Okay, now you can breathe out.  This is what the Amazon Rainforest does for our planet.   It recycles and produces about 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen.   That’s huge.  The Amazon rainforest has so many plants and edible fruits that many of them haven’t even been discovered yet.   One that has been discovered and is popular is the acai palm.   The locals call it “the tree of life.”

The Acai Palm tree; eat the berries and the tree

When you’re hungry and need food, you got to the grocery store and stock up on fruit roll ups and macaroni and cheese.   But imagine that you live in the Amazon in Brazil.  You’re standing in your backyard near the river and a few monkeys run past you.  

You’re hungry, so naturally, you climb up a 20 ft. acai palm tree barefoot to collect berries and cut off a palm branch.  No problem.  You make some acai jam and then peel away the palm bark and eat the inside core, called the palm heart.  Not bad for an afternoon snack.

Eat your Acai and get super powers

How many times have you tried to hide those green veggies at the dinner table by tucking them under your mashed potatoes?   Maybe you’re lucky and have a dog begging under the table for a piece of broccoli.  You feel sorry for the pooch and slip him your unwanted scraps.

It might be time to negotiate with your parents using the acai berry.   The acai berry is a super food.   A super food gives you super powers.   Ask your parents, on occasion, if you could skip the greens and add acai berry to your ice cream instead.  You get your nutrition, and the dog doesn’t get gas from your Brussels sprouts.

If your parents are concerned about you getting vitamins and stuff, then show them the adult nutrient information about the acai berry.   Then put acai in your juice, ice cream, or smoothie and everyone will be happy.
