Açaí - Açaí Palm is a
palm tree native to tropical Central and South America, from Belize
south to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in floodplains and swamps. Açaí
are used for their "palm heart", which is eaten as a steamed dish, and
for their highly-prized fruits, which are rich in B vitamins, minerals
(particularly iron), fiber, proteins, Omega-3 fatty acids, and
anthocyanin, a member of the flavonoid class of antioxidants. The juice
and pulp of açaí fruits are frequently used in various beverages and
smoothies, or marketed in North America blended with the more familiar
flavor of grape juice. The frozen fruit pulp is very deep purple and is
reminiscent of a blueberry sorbet or ice cream with a hint of chocolate.
Açaí can also be eaten raw or used as a condiment, most commonly with
shrimp or manioc. It is considered one of the most nutritious fruits of
the Amazon, second perhaps to the Brazil Nut.
Chá
de Bugre - Chá de bugre is a small tree that is found throughout Brazil. Chá de bugre is commonly called café do mato (coffee of the woods) because it produces a red fruit resembling a
coffee bean which is roasted and brewed into tea as a coffee substitute. Chá de bugre
is a popular weight loss aid and can be seen in many pharmacies,
eateries, and stores. Chá de bugre has long been a popular weight loss
product which has been marketed as a diuretic, appetite suppressant, and
believed to help prevent or reduce fatty deposits and cellulite. At present Chá de bugre is known
to contain caffeine, potassium, allantoin and allantoic acid. The red
fruits or berries of chá de bugre (resembling a coffee bean) contain
caffeine. The allantoin and allantoic acid may explain the traditional
use of the plant for wound healing. Main plant chemicals include
allantoin, allantoic acid, caffeine, potassium.
Yerba
Maté - Yerba maté is a species of holly (family Aquifoliaceae)
native to subtropical South America in northern Argentina, Paraguay,
Uruguay, Southern Brazil and Bolivia. A highly caffeinated herbal tea
called maté is prepared by steeping the dried leaves in hot water.
Drinking maté with friends from a shared hollow gourd with a metal straw
is extremely common. Yerba maté contains xanthines, which are alkaloids
in the same family as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine,
well-known stimulants also found in coffee and chocolate. Maté also
contains the chemical elements potassium, magnesium and manganese. From
reports of personal experience with maté, its physiological effects are
similar to (yet distinct from) more widespread caffeinated beverages
like coffee, tea or guarana drinks. Users report a mental state of
wakefulness, focus and alertness reminiscent of most stimulants, but
often remark on mate's unique lack of the negative effects typically
created by other such compounds, such as anxiety, diarrhea,
"jitteriness", and heart palpitations. Reasons for mate's unique
physiological attributes are beginning to emerge in scientific research.
Studies of mate, though very limited, have shown preliminary evidence
that the mate xanthine cocktail is different from other plants
containing caffeine most significantly in its effects on muscle tissue,
as opposed to those on the central nervous system, which are similar to
those of other natural stimulants. Mate has been shown to have a
relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on
myocardial (heart) tissue. Many users report that drinking yerba mate
does not prevent them from being able to fall asleep, as is often the
case with some more common stimulating beverages, while still enhancing
their energy and ability to remain awake at will.
