What is Açai?
Chances are, you’ve already heard about this little purple berry that is quickly making a name for itself. ACaI (pronounced ah-sah-EE) is a highly nutritious palm berry that grows on a tall, thin palm in the Amazon flood plains. Acai palms grow natively along the riverbanks of the rainforest where the humidity and mineral content of the earth make for perfect growing conditions. The acai palm can reach heights of up to 60 feet tall. High in the canopy of its pristine environment, the Acaipalm produces clusters of dark purple berries. Although similar in look and size of a blueberry, the Acai berry is 90% seed with only a thin oily skin. This purple skin of the berry possesses tremendous health properties and has been used by Amazon natives for centuries.
