Acai Powder Organic

Açai powder: Natural energy from the Amazon

Why Consume Açai Powder?

The nutrients found in Açai are a wonderful blend of antioxidants, omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, vitamins and proteins. Açai is also very popular with athletes because the berry contains 19 amino acids that stimulate muscle activity, give strength and long-lasting energy. A diet high in antioxidants helps protect and slow the aging process.

In Brazil, açai has been a popular fruit for many years, used as fruit puree, in drinks, ice cream and smoothies. The natives of the rainforest have been consuming Açai for thousands of years.

What makes our Açai powder special?

Our Açai powder from Brazil is 100% natural with no fillers or chemicals. Due to the high fat content of the berries, long transport routes are impossible without a process to increase the shelf life of the fruit. Therefore, the berries are freeze-dried shortly after harvest and then gently ground at low temperatures to a fine powder. The ingredients are preserved as far as possible.

Many of the açai powders available on the market are not pure, meaning they are mixed with fillers that reduce its nutritional value. The stronger the purple color of the powder, the more concentrated and pure it is. The shade is therefore a good indicator of the quality of the product. Our açai powder is made from 100% açai berries, with no fillers and is dark purple in colour.

How does our Açai powder taste?

Açai powder tastes delicious: a delicious, unusual taste! The excellent combination of omega fatty acids and the sustained energy it provides makes açai powder indispensable for us.

Where is Açai powder made?

Açai is a beautiful deep purple colored berry that grows on tall palm trees along the Amazon River in the Brazilian rainforest. A true gift from Mother Nature! The dark purple color comes from special pigments called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants.
