What is Acai?

January 22nd, 2019

Known for its delicious tropical and naturally sweet taste, it’s understandable why Acai is one of the most renowned members of the superfood squad. Acaí, (pronounced ah-sigh-EE) is best known for being the hero ingredient in some of the most Instagrammable smoothie bowls. Besides acai’s vibrant colouring and taste, it’s jam-packed with nutrients and superfood qualities that leave you feeling energised, refreshed and ready to take on your day.

There is more to acai berries than just their good looks and taste, and if you have tasted acai, you’ll understand why it has been cultivated throughout Brazilian rainforests for decades. Amazonian tribes discovered acai berries to have extremely high antioxidant properties, often sourcing the berry to build their immune systems and as a valuable source of energy.

Since being introduced into the western world, it’s understandable why acai has come with such a buzz – the sweetness of this superfood will have you feeling guilt free about your breakfast choice and totally satisfied all day.
