Acai seeds are not on the list when it comes to health foods but they do have their uses even if they are not nutritionally valuable to human beings.
Acai seeds have four primary uses. The first use is as livestock feed. It does have a large number of nutrients and makes for an excellent nutritional addition for feed.
The second use is of course the whole purpose of a seed which is to grow into new trees. The Acai seed is highly viable in its native environment and under the appropriate growing conditions can become a seedling within a matter of months. This is important since the Acai Palm tree has a multitude of uses including construction material.
The third use is as a highly nutrient rich additive to soil. It is crushed the same way as when used for livestock feed and mixed in with a standard top soil mixture. This produces a highly mineral rich growing medium.
The fourth use for the Acai berry seeds is to make jewelry. The Acai seeds are between 7-10 millimeters in size and make perfect beads. They are also used for souvenirs and are sold as novelty items.
Acai seeds have some if not all of the same minerals found in the acai pulp. This means it has high concentrations of potassium, magnesium, B-vitamins as well as A, D, and E all of which can provide similar effects in livestock as with humans, and consequently releases this into the soil when it becomes an organic additive to top soil. This makes Acai seeds a valuable trade commodity by themselves as soil additives, livestock feed additives, jewelry making supplies and to be able to repopulate crops.
