What is Açaí?
The Amazon Superfood ™
Açaí fruit is more than just a purple berry. In fact, it’s thought to be the most powerful superfood in the Amazon. Grown on the Açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) in the floodplains of the rainforest and wild harvested by hand, this nutritional powerhouse has long been a staple of indigenous diets.
Why Eat Acai Berries?
Over the past few years, Acai berries have grown in popularity globally. It’s not surprising given their amazing flavor, convenience, and potential health perks. As more people discover the Delicious Powers of Acai, we are proud to share this mighty berry with the world and reveal what makes it so special.
PALM TO PALM
We believe in transparency. And we understand how important it is to know the food you and your family consume is of the highest quality, while also being ethically sourced, transported, and processed.
By creating our own supply chain, we can oversee every step of its journey, from the moment our fair trade food is hand-harvested and transported by riverboats, to its inspection (by hand) and environmentally responsible processing. Each time you enjoy the Delicious Powers of our Açaí, think of its journey from the palm of the tree to the palm of your hand.
HARVEST: Local harvesters harvest our Certified Organic and Fair Trade Açaí by hand to minimize our impact on the local eco-system.
SELECTION: Transported by riverboat down the Amazon, our berries are then checked for quality, color, consistency and aroma directly on our dock.
ECO-PROCESSING: Our berries are processed at two of the most advanced, eco-friendly Açaí processing plants in the world.
SERVING YOU: This is where you come in. Enjoy the delicious, nutritious, responsibly sourced berry, and get your purple smile!
