Sport Acai berries?

[NoU]

i see lots of acai palm juices, but i do not see any acai berries being sold at any stores near me. is it just my area, or is there a reason they don't sell them?

I think for the same reason, its just they don't sell them because it's hard to import it from the place your living now.And from what i know acai berreis growing mainly in floodplains and swamps from Central and South America .

They are very healthy, but I wouldn't get too obsessed with getting them if you can't get them reasonably cheaply and easily. I think people sometimes tend to get a little too caught up in whatever food is the newly recognized ultimate superfood and should consider similar foods that are more readily available. Blueberries are very similar in their nutrition profile and are much easier to get. Of course, I recommend 100% blueberries with no added sugar or anything else. I get bags of frozen blueberries, thaw them, and then eat them with organic no-added-sugar, fat-free yogurt, walnuts and/or sliced almonds, and whey powder.

Or if possible, go pick your own blueberries! Its fun and much less expensive. I live in Texas, and my family and I go blueberry picking each year-- you can get about ~12 lbs of blueberries for about $17 (that was what we were able to pick this year... we went a little late).
