What is Açaí?

Açaí is a highly nutritious palm berry that grows on a tall, thin palm in the Amazon flood plains. The palm produces clusters of dark purple berries. Although similar in look and size of a large blueberry, the Açaí berry is approximately 95% seed with only a thin oily skin. This dark purple skin possesses tremendous health properties and has been used by Amazon natives for centuries. However, it is not possible to eat the fruit itself because of its physical properties. Instead, the berry must be carefully processed into a puree. The most common way to eat Açaí is consuming the fruit puree. In Brazil it is consumed daily as sweetened puree with Acerola or Guarana or unsweetened with tapioca.

Soon after the berries are harvested, they are quickly sent to a state-of-the-art facility center where they are washed, soaked in water and carefully processed to remove the edible outer parts from the inedible seed in order to make the puree. The puree is finally flash pasteurized and quickly frozen to seal in the flavor and nutrition all within 10-16 hours of harvest.
