Useful information
What is Acai?
The Açaí is a blue-violet coloured berry which originates in the rainforests. Traditionally used by native Brazilians it is now considered a super-food capable of conferring outstanding energy and resistance. Thanks to its powerful beneficial effects, it is no longer used only as a staple food for the Brazilian population, but is also taking Europe by storm.
Taste & Texture
The best açaí berries come from organic farming. The açai fruit has a pleasant taste, similar to that of blueberry and chocolate, and can be thus consumed like any other fruit. However, it is hard to find it on the market in its raw state, even if it is now commercially widespread as a beverage supplements or in powder form.
How to consume Acai
The organic açaí berry powder is a good way to integrate this excellent fruit into your diet. To ensure an easy and pleasant consumption, the açai berry powder must be dissolved in water in smoothies or breakfast drinks.
What is the difference between freeze-dried and spry-dried Acai?
Given that berries undergo deterioration within 24 hours of harvest, it is practically impossible to find them fresh and newly harvested on the market. Accordingly, their consumption in powder form is one of the best ways to enjoy this precious food, provided it has been properly processed. To preserve all nutritional values, berries must be processed or frozen within 24 hours of harvesting. There are two ways to turn açai pulp into powder:
FREEZE DRIED
It is a process of freezing and lyophilisation (also know as freeze-drying), whereby the acai is processed at low temperatures, preserving all the properties of the berry, and keeping the product 100% natural. Although the freeze-dried method is certainly the best one to transform pulp into powder, it is also the most expensive. For this reason, the cost of the powder thus obtained is considerably higher than that processed via the spry-dried method.
SPRY DRIED
In this processing method, the pulp is processed at high temperatures, damaging therefore the nutritional properties, colour, and flavour of the acai. What is more, attaining a soluble and powdered product demands the in-process addition of Maltodextrin, which yields an acai product that is no longer 100% pure and natural.
