FAQs
- What is açaí?
Grown in clusters on palm trees found in South American rainforests, açaí berries are around one inch in diameter and have a deep purple skin. Around 80% of the berry is made up of the seed while the skin and flesh make up the other 20% which includes plenty of vitamins and other nutrients.
For centuries the açaí berry has been a staple food for communities living near and around the Amazon River delta. Traditionally açaí berries are handpicked and then soaked in water to soften the flesh and skin in order remove it from the seed inside. The flesh of the berry is then 'mashed' to a dark purple paste and is often enjoyed with fish, meats or as a soup as part of a daily diet by these communities.
Açai is now enjoyed across the world as bowls and smoothies topped with a variety of fresh fruits.
