Acaiberri

When Johnston brothers Angelo and David Aiello decided to come up with a definitive antioxidant blend, David spent five months researching fruits from around the world. He settled on a powerful mixture they call “ABC”: the Acai Berry Complex. Their 25-ounce bottles of  Acaiberri include 10 different fruit juices, each with its own highly touted benefits. The title berry itself, from the Amazonian rainforests of Brazil, is said to have the highest antioxidant rating of any fruit. Others in the concentrate are bilberry (European cousin of the blueberry), blueberry, elderberry, wolfberry (or gojo berry, from China), and cranberry, plus grapes, prunes, pomegranates, and mangosteen, the Southeast Asian “superfruit.” The Aiellos don’t want to make any unsubstantiated health claims, but Angelo says he has fewer aches and more energy when he has a one-ounce shot of Acaiberri each day, in a glass of water or juice. |Available at Venda Ravioli, D.
