Acai, I Say

From Central and South America, the home of exotic animals, music, and medicinal foodstuffs, comes yet another product to add to the “must try” list for anyone interested in nutrition: the acai berry (it even rhymes with “must try” – a bit) is actually the fruit of new world species of palm tree.
