Gardening and Horticulture - growing acai at home

I want to drink acai juice for the health benefits but I heard the frozen imported stuff was not as potent as fresh so I bought some very pretty Acai Palms. Does anyone have any experience growing them? They are in my greenhouse and I have a solar water heating system. They seem to be doing well. But I could use some advice.
Also thinking about selling my fresh berries.
Has anyone else bought from this company?

That is their website. They claim you can grow these palms anywhere, not just in Brazil.
I am looking for recipes too.

The Euterpe Oleracae Cabbage Palm can be grown in the U.S. in Hardiness Zones 9B-11. It can reach 65-70 feet on a 7-9 inch trunk. It prefers flooded areas and swamps. Euterpe oleracea will reach 30-40 feet and is hardy in Zones 10B-11. Requires constantly moist soil. Some grow the plants in greenhouses and, with some luck, in homes. Keep in mind that these are Rain Forest plants, and it would be challenging to provide such an environment. Trees are often referred to as Amazon Heart of Palm Trees.

If you purchase an acaci palm, purchase from a reputable vendor. If you live in Zone 9-11, a local reputable nursery or greenhouse would be the best option. Many palm distributors require that palms be certified to assure that palms were harvested with the best environmental practices without destruction to the Rain Forest. It is possible to grow acacia from seed.

Hi! I just want to share some informations regarding Acai berries..

Acai

Acai (pronounced Ah-Sigh-EE) is part of a special group of foods called "Super Foods". These are fruits and vegetables that contain amazing health benefits and have only recently been introduced to the general public.

The benefits of Acai are numerous, but the one that gets the most press is it's extremely high antioxidant count. Antioxidants help protect our bodies from free radicals, which cause great damage to our cells.

This means that foods that contain high levels of antioxidants help fight cancer, reverse the signs of aging, promotes healthy skin and hair, and help boost our immune system.

Acai tops the chart with the highest level of antioxidants of any known fruit or vegetable. Acai beats out other popular antioxidant foods such as blueberries, pomegranates, and green tea.

Not only is Acai an antioxidant powerhouse, but it also contains high levels of essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help to lower cholesterol, improve mood, and reduces inflammation.

Acai is also an excellent source of amino acids, fiber, and many vitamins and minerals that are essential to a health body.

It has also been known to give a boost of energy that is more powerful and longer lasting than coffee or Redbull.
