Acai Palm and the Acai berry
I'd also like to talk about Mona Vie.
A friend of mine introduced me to the Mona Vie EMV energy drink and I loved it! Perhaps I love it because I've never had any other energy drink aside from when I'd failed to refrain from indulging meself on Jagerbombs!
It seems the Acai berry is taking the world by storm so I'm wondering if anyone out there in FG world is familiar with it.

A powdered preparation of freeze-dried açaà fruit pulp and skin (Opti-açaÃ, K2A, Inc.) was reported to contain (per 100 g of extract) 533.9 calories, 52.2 g carbohydrates, 8.1 g protein, and 32.5 g total fat. The carbohydrate portion included 44.2 g of fiber. The powder was also shown to contain (per 100 g): negligible vitamin C, 260 mg calcium, 4.4 mg iron, and 1002 U vitamin A, as well as aspartic acid and glutamic acid; the amino acid content was 7.59% of total dry weight.
The fat content of açaà consists of oleic acid (56.2% of total fats), palmitic acid (24.1%), and linoleic acid (12.5%). Açaà also contains beta-sitosterol (78–91% of total sterols). The oil compartments in açaà fruit contain polyphenols such as procyanidin oligomers and vanillic acid, syringic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and ferulic acid, which were shown to degrade substantially during storage or exposure to heat.AçaÃ* Palm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
