Acai

Acai

Acai berry is a small purple fruit that comes from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America in areas of heavy rain and jungle vegetation. It grows in large bunches and is harvested from high in the palm trees and  pressed into a beautiful deep purple fruit pulp.

Studies show that acai fruit pulp is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries. Acai has become popular as a breakfast staple in acai bowls and smoothies.  However, finding fresh (not frozen) acai puree in quantities sufficient for brewing or fermentation can be challenging.   

It has an earthy and tart taste, which some say resembles blackberries and dark chocolate.  Sweetened, it has a delightful and exotic flavor. It also pairs well with fruits like banana, mango and passion fruit which help round out it’s earthy-ness with natural sweetness and acidity.
