Acai 100% Freeze dried Organic Berries

Latin name:Euterpe oleracea

Acai is a beautiful rich royal purple coloured berry from the Brazilian Rain Forest in South America.

Acai has most recently become a very popular super food in North America, Australia and Europe due to intense marketing and popularization campaigns. However this has given rise to many products falsely claiming to be Acai on the market. It has for many years been a popular fruit in Brazil, made into fruit purees, ice creams, soft drinks and super food health drinks. In fact it has been drunk by indigenous Rain forest dwellers for probably thousands of years.

Indeed Acai is a super food, and offers a health solution to many modern illnesses, but it is only true when Acai is in its potent 100% natural form. The berries are not shipped world wide like many other fruits because they have a very short life due to their high fat content, so a process for preserving the Acai berries has been developed. This involves the berries being freeze dried soon after being picked, then powdered. This Acai powder is 100% pure and maintains maximum nutritional content.
