O.N.E. Amazon Acai, the amazing "superfruit"



Why is this fruit causing so much of a stir among nutrition experts? For starters, the Acai berry has twice the antioxidant content of blueberries and ten times that of red grapes. These antioxidants found in Acai are more long lasting in effect as well. The Acai contains a lot of fatty acids, including oleic acid, which can reduce cholesterol levels. The University of Florida has done studies on the fruit, finding that the Acai berry also has compounds called polyphenolics which can slow down the progress of leukemia. The Acai berry is at the top of the “super foods” list because it: has anti-inflammatory properties, lowers cholesterol, helps your body burn excess fat, regulates metabolism, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, protects against cancer and heart disease, promotes digestive health and gives you energy too!

O.N.E.™ Amazon Açaí is a delicious and healthy natural beverage made from fresh Açaí fruit grown naturally (wild crafted) in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest.

What a Lovely Bunch o' Coconuts






Q: Why have I never heard of this before?
A: For centuries, coconut water has been enjoyed in tropical areas around the world like Brazil, Thailand, the Philippines, etc. However, when you chop off the top of a young green coconut the water begins to oxidize immediately and is only good for approximately 3-5 days. As a result of Tetra Pak and its new technologies, coconut water can be packaged in the Tetra Pak packaging with a 10 month shelf life.

O.N.E.TM Coconut Water has an exclusive worldwide patent with Tetra Pak to package the coconut water with ZERO preservatives.

Today, packaged coconut water has greater sales than orange juice in Brazil. Now you can buy coconut water with an organic salad at McDonald’s in Brazil.

Q: Where are the coconuts from?
A: The coconut plantations are in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest. Specifically, they are in Ananindeua in the Brazilian state of Para. We help the sustainability of the Amazon Rainforest.

Q: Is O.N.E. Coconut Water raw?
A: O.N.E. is not a raw product as our coconut water undergoes a pasteurization process. The extracted coconut water undergoes several filterings before it is taken to the sterilizer, which submits the natural coconut water to a process known as High Temperature Short Time (HTST), this process is also known as Flash pasteurization. This thermal treatment eliminates any microorganisms, leaving the coconut water totally sterile, pure and delicious, just like at harvest time.

It is important to have the product pasteurized for the consumption of children. The pasteurization process does not affect the electrolyte and nutrient profile of the coconut water.

Q: Is O.N.E. Coconut Water organic?
A: O.N.E. is harvested in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest. We do not use pesticides, but do use fertilizers. Because of the VERY large size of the plantation (our coconuts come from the world’s largest plantation of coconuts specifically grown for coconut water), it would be cost prohibitive to produce organic coconut water as it would cost approximately $15.00 for one 11 OZ unit.
