Acai berry is a small purple fruit native to the South American Amazon. Our Acai is typically wild-harvested by cooperatives, like the indigenous community of Porvenir. Community-owned projects create incentives to protect forests - by providing an income and an alternative to work in timber production. Acai berries are hand-picked, cleaned and destoned. The fruit is pureed and freeze dried, to minimize nutrient loss. It takes over 20kg of Acai berry fruit to make 1kg of our Acai berry powder. Health benefits The Vitamin E & Iron in our Acai Berry contribute to antioxidant protection, immune system support, energy and vitality. Acai is a source of Magnesium, which contributes to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth and also supports mental health.
