Naturya Acai Powder 125g

The grape-like acai berry grows on the banks of the Amazon, where the berry bearing palms thrive on the rich fertile soil of the rainforest. When ripe, the antioxidant-rich berries are pulped and freeze-dried into a vibrant purple powder.

Acai comes from Pará in northern Brazil. The deep purple acai berry is wild harvested by Amazonian riverside communities. It is known locally as the beauty berry. Locals who make their living from harvesting acai berries are called ribeirinhos or “people who live on the river’s riverines”. Fresh berries are carefully washed before the pulp is extracted, pasteurized and frozen.

Acai is always freeze-dried (at a maximum of 3 days post-harvest), perfectly preserving the product without preservatives or irradiation. The acai pulp is frozen at extremely low temperatures, removing all water – a process called sublimation. Over-processing of acai by heating, or standard freezing methods, can produce an unpleasant brown powder.
