What is the difference between Açai Freeze Dried and Açai Spry Dried?
What is the difference between Açai Freeze Dried and Açai Spry Dried?
Since the berries deteriorate within 24 hours of being picked, it is virtually impossible to find them on the market fresh and freshly picked. Processing them into powder remains one of the best ways to consume this precious food, but it is important to ensure that the berries are processed properly. To preserve all the nutritional values, the berries must be processed or frozen within 24 hours of being picked. There are two ways to make acai pulp into a powder:
FREEZE DRIED
FREEZE DRIED
It is a process of freezing and freeze-drying at cold temperatures, so the acai is processed at low temperatures preserving all the properties of the berry and keeping the product 100% natural . The Freeze-dried method is certainly the best method to transform the pulp into powder but it is also the most expensive. For this reason, the cost of the powder is significantly higher than the powder transformed using the Spry dried method.
SPRAY DRIED
SPRAY DRIED
In this processing method the pulp is processed at high temperatures thus damaging the nutritional properties, color and flavor of the acai. Furthermore, in order to obtain a soluble and powdered product it is necessary to add Maltodextrin during the process, which will therefore make the acai a product no longer 100% pure and natural. NaturaleBio produces only Açai in Freeze Dried Organic Powder.
NaturaleBio Açai powder from traditional Brazilian organic crops
The Açaí palm grows near the equator, but the area where this plant is most present is in the Amazon basin.
Açaí palms can reach a height of 15-25 m, on a flat space they remain lower, while where the vegetation is thicker they grow very large.
From a single seed can grow up to eight trees. It is found mainly in the floodplains or riverine regions of the Brazilian Amazon basin.
It is an evergreen palm made up of several thin stems on the top of which we find up to fourteen pinnate leaves (typical of the palm) arranged in a crown.
The pulp is also used to produce juice, which is the basis of the diet in the Amazon.
