Açaí Berry
Rich with energetic and antioxidant properties, açaí is typically found in the Brazilian Amazon, which is the main producer, exporter and consumer of the fruit. Known as a superfruit, açaí is highly nutritious and has an exotic and unique taste. It is widely known by Brazilians and is consumed on a daily basis as a compliment food. It has become an important source of natural nutrients for vegetarians and vegans too. High quality raw material allied to a careful freeze drying process results in our freeze dried açaí, an unique ingredient internationally recognized for its superior quality and nutritional values.
Description
Holding countless benefits, açaí boasts fibre, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and iron. It is an excellent source of energy due to the high calories levels. Freeze-dried açaí has over 3% in total polyphenols, elements with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, with emphasis on anthocyanin, known for their ability to combat cell damage and contributing to the strengthening of the immune system. This antioxidant potential can be measured through an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) analysis, where açaí is ranked among the highest natural sources in nature. It also has significant Omega 6 and Omega 9 content. Omega 6 is an essential fatty acid – in other words, it should be ingested through the diet as the human body is not able to synthesize it.
