Acai Powder

Acai powder is made by freeze-drying the fruits of the acai palm (Euterpe oleracea) from the Brazilian Amazon. This process preserves an exceptionally high content of antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, along with vitamin E and healthy unsaturated fatty acids. The powder has a deep purple to reddish-brown colour and an intense, earthy flavour reminiscent of wild berries and dark chocolate. It can easily be added to smoothies, yoghurts, porridge or baked goods. Compared to frozen acai, the powder offers a much longer shelf life and simple portion control, typically just one to two teaspoons per day is sufficient.
