Flavour

This acai powder has a very subtle flavour. It isn't really sweet as you might imagine a berry to be and instead the taste resembles that of edible seeds like linseed (flax) or pomegranate kernels. The high omega oil content gives it a slight oily taste too, similar to something like ground flaxseed. This is not unpleasant be any means, and it blends perfectly into liquids and onto desserts.

Usage

This powder is ready to use. Just sprinkle it into or onto anything you want!

The recommended amount per serving is about 10 or 15 grams. Give that a go and see how you like it - you can always add more or less depending on your preferences.
