Frozen red berry acai bowl made with acai berries, blueberries, yogurt and oats. Acai berries are harvested from acai palm trees, primarily in South America. As is the case with many berries, such as blueberries and blackberries, acai contain antioxidants, some vitamins, and a bit of fiber. gettyBut superfood hype aside, the really worrisome news about acai berries is not in the berries themselves, but in how they are harvested. A full basket of acai berries may earn a family $3.00.
