Acai berries grow on a type of palm tree in the Amazon rainforest. The dark purple-black berries, roughly the size of cherries hang down in long bunches. Since these berries are gorwn so far afield they are usually frozen for sale on US market or freeze-dried and shipped as powder around the world.
Acai berry powder is naturally rich in Omega-3, Anthocyanins and Vitamin C. It has a pleasant tart blackcurrant flavour which mellows on the tongue, some say with a hint of chocolate.
Acai powder is easily mixed into smoothies, shakes and puddings (e.g. fruit compote with yoghurt). Try sprinkling over fruit salads and stirring into Raw Chocolate for a nutritional boost.
Directions for Use
1 tsp per person in a around 500ml of liquid is ideal.
