Acai berry properties are varied and seem at times to be unlimited in how great they can be for your health. It is difficult to believe that the fruit from this palm tree, indigenous mostly to poorer countires in central and south america, could yield such wonderful qualities.

Botanically, this starch-rich tuber belongs to the family of Convolvulaceae, and named botanically as Ipomoea batatas.
It is grown throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions. The crop requires just sufficient water and attention for their cultivation. The tuberous root features oblong/elongated shape with tapering ends and has smooth outer skin whose color ranges from red, purple, brown, and white, depending up on the variety.
CASSAVA Source of Energy
Cassava has nearly twice the calories than potatoes, perhaps highest for any tropical starch rich tubers and roots. 100 g root provides 160 calories. Their calorie mainly comes from sucrose forming the bulk of the sugars in tubers, accounting for more than 69% of the total sugars. Complex sugar amylose is another major carbohydrate source (16-17%).
Cassava is very low in fats and protein than in cereals and pulses. Nonetheless, it has more protein than that of other tropical food sources like yam, potato, plantains, etc.
As in other roots and tubers, cassava too is free from gluten. Gluten-free starch is used in special food preparations for celiac disease patients.

Lime juice added to almost anything gives it an instant tropical flavor. Small Mexican limes are often known as Key Limes, and are required for the signature pie dessert. Persian limes are larger and seedless, but less flavorful. Lime wedges can be used as a flavor enhancing garnish in cold drinks and with entrees, while the juice works wonders as a key ingredient in marinades, sauces, guacamole, and salad dressing. Lime zest adds a more intense burst of flavor to seafood, chicken and desserts.

Coffee
Coffee beans have been eaten for hundreds of years or more.
It is thought that before coffee was developed as a beverage, its beans were often mixed with animal fat and consumed to boost energy levels (1).
Coffee beans provide the same nutrients as a cup of joe — but in a much more concentrated form.
Because regular coffee is filtered and diluted with water, you only get a portion of the caffeine and other substances found in the whole bean.
What’s more, eating coffee beans — rather than drinking the beverage — may lead to more rapid absorption of caffeine through the lining of your mouth (2, 3).
Both the beneficial and negative effects of coffee are amplified when the beans are consumed whole.
As such, it is best to eat coffee beans in moderation.
That said, green coffee beans — which are raw — aren’t very pleasant to eat. They have a bitter, woody flavor and can be hard to chew. Roasted coffee beans are slightly softer. Coffee beans provide the same nutrients as a cup of joe — but in a much more concentrated form.
