Delicious, healthy and nutritive, acai is a berry that grows on a palm tree known as Acaizeiro (Euterpe Oleracea Mart), common in the Amazon. Also known as ‘’jucara’’, it is a small round berry of dark purple color.
The Acaizeiro can reach up to 30 meters in height and it prefers humid areas, growing mainly in the edge of the rivers, and, even though the fruit can be found in countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guiana, Brazil is the biggest acai producer, being responsible for 85% of the world supply.
For its consumption, it is necessary that the fruit is processed, in a way that the pulp is separated from the big seed. Nowadays, it is used in the prepare of drinks, desserts, ice cream, jelly, sorbet and cosmetic products as well. Known for its nutritional and health benefits, it became popular all over the world, being consumed in Asia, Europe and America.
The fruit has its characteristic purple color due to a natural pigment called anthocyanin, considered a powerful antioxidant, which is great against early aging, in addition to helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
With essential properties to the organism, the acai is rich in vitamins (B, C and liposolubles), minerals, dietary fibers calcium, phosphor, iron, potassium, fatty acids and Omega 3,6 and 9. Regular consumption can help prevent diseases like cancer, diabetes and anemia.
