Acai So Popular, It’s Being Put In Coffee
February 24th, 2010 by the writerThe acai berry has become so popular that a national company has begun to put it in their coffee. “Caribou Coffee is the first coffee shop in the country to offer an Acai Smoothie,” states Michael Coles, Chairman and CEO of Caribou Coffee. “We have always had smoother, better tasting acai coffee at Caribou, and now we have a wonderful, new smoothie for our customers to enjoy that not only tastes great but has some great health benefits as well!”
Acai berries, harvested from palm trees in the Amazon region of Brazil, are widely recognized as the most nutritious fruit on the planet. The berries contain 10 times more antioxidants than red grapes and twice as many as blueberries, and are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids, monosaturated fats, amino acids and dietary fiber.
