The Açaí Berry
Açaí has been a staple of the diet of the Amazonian people for thousands of years, since before recorded history. Only recently, thanks to global distribution, has the robust flavor and immense health benefits of the Amazon’s magical berry showed up on doorsteps here in the United States. Açaí has continued to delight the senses with its delicious and dynamic flavor that shines in any smoothie, bowl or recipe along with its rich purple color and its high antioxidant content and health benefits that have given the açaí berry its superfood status.
Açaí is high in anthocyanins, which are the antioxidants that make the berries purple. Anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic properties. They also support eye health, are neuroprotective, prevent LDL oxidation, improve capillary stability, balance cholesterol levels, support immune system, slow the aging process and more. Açaí contains fiber, Vitamin A, Calcium, Chromium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus and more. Perhaps most importantly, açaí is extremely high in antioxidants containing three times the amount as blueberries. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative damage from the environment and diet. Our açaí is high-grade 100% organic wild harvested açaí, selected by our harvesters in the Amazon River Basin of Brazil.
“Our Açaí berries contain good omega fats that can address blood pressure and cardio health. The fiber and near complete protein profile, containing 19 of the 20 needed amino acids, make it excellent for everyday usage whether it's in one's smoothie, mixed drink, or favorite meal. Our açaí nourishes consumers while supporting harvesting, an important source of income for Amazon natives.”
