From the Amazon palm to your bowl
A small purple berry from Brazil and its journey to your blender.
What is açaí?
Açaí berries (Euterpe oleracea Mart) are the fruit of the açaí palm, which grows in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil.
The açaí berry is small, round and dark purple, similar to a blueberry or a grape. Unlike blueberries, however, it contains a large seed, which makes up as much as 80 % of the fruit.
Açaí berries have been part of the traditional diet of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon for centuries.
