The Proper Way to Preserve Acai Berries
Posted by Orson Dunham at Mar 21st, 2009 in Nutrition
Most people like to eat their fruits fresh but it may not be an option when it comes to acai berries. While most fruits last days or even weeks, acai berries only last a very short while. The acai berry deteriorates fast after picking than any other fruit on record. In fact, acai juice can only last up to 24 hours in a refrigerator before it’s many nutrients start to dwindle.
The short shelf life of fresh acai berries makes it hard for manufacturers and companies wanting to sell the berries worldwide to transport them to where buyers are. Acai berries need to be preserved and processed to make sure that they arrive good and full of nutrition at their destination.
Many people have heard of acai berries but they are not aware of the challenges acai product manufacturers face when they try to preserve the fruits and to process them. If acai berries are not processed or preserved immediately after picked, it will perish and there can even be a risk of microbial contamination.
Not only do manufacturers need to consider how to preserve acai berries so that they will not become rotten during shipment, they also need to think of ways that will preserve the nutrients in the berries as much as possible. Many of the processes done to the berries destroy the nutrients in them. If this is allowed to happen, then there is no good reason for anyone to reach out to buy any acai berry products and pay a lot of money for them. All to often this is the case.
One of the most obvious ways to preserve acai berries is to freeze them. When people cannot get fresh fruits, they try to get frozen fruits as their second choice. But, there are problems when freezing the acai berries and transporting them. First of all, the manufacturer has to make sure that the temperature remains constant throughout the journey or the acai berries will arrive spoiled and worthless.
An easier way to deal with easily perishable acai berries is to compact them into pills, capsules, and tablets. There are many companies that market the acai berries this way. However, they are not as popular and people worry about what else are in the capsules. Sometimes, they do not contain many of the acai nutrients at all. Worse yet, it’s very difficult to find out if they actually contain what the company says that they contain.
There are more complicated ways to preserve and process the acai berries such as the freeze drying process that is supposed to be the best. The freeze drying process is done in a vacuum which is beneficial for limiting the activity of enzymes that would otherwise make the acai berries go bad quickly.
The moral of this story is that while acai berries have lots of nutrients in them, the acai berry products that you find may not contain many nutrients at all. You have to pay attention to how the acai berry is processed in order to find out if a product is really good for you. If the product is not nutritious, then there is obviously no point paying a premium price for it.
