Discover the Açai

For centuries, the people of the Amazon have revered the açai berry (pronounced "ah-sigh-ee") for its unique nutritional properties. Their tribal healers used açai to promote health and longevity, and their warriors consumed it as a source of strength, energy and vitality.

The açai is a fruit from the Açai Palm and is found mostly in the Amazon floodplains and uplands. The palm has a thick trunk, sometimes slightly curved, which averages 15-20 meters tall. The ripe açai berry is black-violet in color and is approximately 12-15 mm in diameter and has a berry and chocolate-like flavor.

Scientifically Proven Benefits

The remarkable health benefits of açai have been validated by modern science. Based on USDA data, the açai berry's total ORAC (antioxidant) activity is 200%-750% more than any other fruit or vegetable tested.

Because of its unparalleled antioxidant levels and superior nutrient content, açai is now widely regarded as one of the world's most healthful and nutrient-dense fruits. Here are a few of the nutrients found in açai:
