Since ancient times, the berries of the Açaí plant have been prized by the people of the Amazon as a delicious
energy-booster.
Açaí is a specie of palm. Slightly larger than a blueberry and purple-black in color, Açaí has a simple and discreet flavor, not sour and not sweet.
Harvesters climb 20 meters up the tall, slender Açaí trunk to pick the fruit.
They are so perishable that pulp has to be squeezed fresh, within 24 hours, or else it will soon be fermented end up changing its nutritional value.
Because of its super high nutritional value, Açaí has been called a ”Superfruit” and "Superfood" , and has become extremely popular in Japan and other countries.
Superfoods are considered very good for your health and that may even improve some medical conditions. They are generally recognized that contain high levels of vitamins and minerals like supplements. And also they can be a source of antioxidants.
