Blueberries and pomegranates are currently in, but will shortly be on their way out! Its time to get your Acai berry and Goji berry fix!
Acai has been claimed to be ‘Nature’s Energy Fruit’ and one of the most powerful foods in the world. It is a small berry found in Brazil’s Amazon region. And, it is recommended by Dr. Perricone on Oprah.com - what more could you ask for?Goji berries are found in subtropical regions of China, Tibet and Mongolia. They have been used for over 6,000 years to boost the immune function and promote longevity.
