I don't believe it exists. Have you ever seen an Açaà berry? Have you ever tasted one other than in health food drinks or snacks? They're just a made up miracle fruit. A marketing scheme. People love health foods and are willing to buy anything. It's the Atkins diet all over again!

Yeah, but there is a difference: the Atkins diet actually worked.

That's a silly postulate, OP. I've never been to Armenia, either, but I know apricots exist.

I can go to the grocery store and buy apricots. I have never seen the rare, exotic, fix-all Açaà berry.

If there were a chef around, they would agree with me.

My brother is a chef. My father is a chef. My grandfather was a chef, and my grandfather's father was a chef. I know a real fruit when I see one, faggot.

@previous (D) > In ancient China, certain strains of black rice were known as “Forbidden Riceâ€. It could only be eaten by those of noble blood, peasants were not allowed to consume it.
That's kind of cool, though. :3

Black rice is served in our house on a regular basis. I thought it was a food dye additive.

Black rice or wild long grain? Pic related. It's long grain.

My Mum uses it in baking and as an additive to just about anything from cakes to stew. I think she grinds it up. @previous (sonlog !nuPIzzAD4Y)

In China, they manufacture counterfeit rice out of potato starch and plastic.
