Acai Berry: Phytonutrients/Phytochemicals
Phytonutrients/Phytochemicals are certain organic components of plants. These components are thought to promote human health. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and teas are rich sources of phytonutrients. Unlike the traditional nutrients (protein, fat, vitamins, minerals), phytonutrients are not "essential" for life.
Some phytochemicals, found for example in acai berries, may act directly as antioxidants.
