How do you get Acai from the Amazon To The US

2008-03-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

If you have read our articles on the health properties of Acai you are probably wondering why you don't see Acai berries in your local fruit store. In this article we will look at the challenges with getting fresh Acai from the Amazon.

How can I get fresh Acai berries?

If you happen to live in the Amazon rainforest you are in luck. Just climb up the Acai tree and pick some fresh Acai berries. Unfortunately, for our readers who don't live in the Amazon rainforest, getting fresh Acai berries can be close to impossible.

As we discussed in our article on the nutritional makeup of Acai, the Acai berry is 30 - 50% fat. Foods high in fat will go rancid very quickly. Due to the high fat content, Acai berries go rancid within a day of being picked. This means it is not feasible for Acai berries to be exported to the US (and other countries) because they would go bad before they ever reached our fruit markets.

So if I live outside the Amazon I can't enjoy Acai berries?

While fresh Acai berries are not an option, frozen Acai pulp is available. Sambazon, the world leader in Acai, has developed a process to flash freeze Acai pulp within a day of the Acai berries being picked. This frozen Acai can then be shipped to the US and other countries. Frozen Acai can be used in smoothies, juices or deserts.

Of course the problem with frozen Acai pulp is that it must be stored and shipped frozen. This limits the stores you will find frozen Acai pulp in and also limits how you can use Acai pulp. While frozen Acai is great for making smoothies, it is not ideal if you are looking for Acai you can keep in your locker or take along in your bag.

Is there a way to get fresh Acai that is not frozen?

Fortunately - yes! Sambazon, the world leader in Acai exports, has come up with a freeze dried Acai powder. Acai is fresh picked in the Amazon and the pulp (the seed of the acai berry is not used) is frozen and de-hydrated within 24 hours. What you end up with is a freeze dried Acai powder that maintains all the health benefits of fresh Acai. We call it - freeze dried superfood! This freeze dried Acai powder can then be put into capsules and provide a convenient way to enjoy Acai at any time and any place.

Is freeze dried Acai powder really as good as fresh Acai?

Acai tastes so good - if we lived in the Amazon we would probably eat it fresh just to enjoy the taste. However, from a nutrition stand point the freeze dried Acai powder does maintain the same nutrition profile as fresh Acai. In fact, because freeze dried Acai removes the water from the Acai - ounce for ounce freeze dried Acai has a much higher concentration of nutrients than fresh Acai.

The actual process that Sambazon uses to freeze dry their Acai involves a 6.9 fold concentrate of their 14% dried Acai pulp. What this means in English is that it takes about 6 grams of Acai pulp to make 1 gram of Acai freeze dried powder. 100 grams of fresh Acai has an impressive antioxidant rating of 5,500 ORAC score but 100 grams of freeze dried Sambazon Acai powder has an amazing ORAC score of over 50,000!

Recap:

Since the Acai Berry is so perishable we are not able to go to the local fruit market and buy a basket of Acai berries. The good news is, companies like Sambazon have developed a process to export frozen Acai pulp and freeze dried Acai powder. While frozen Acai is great if you want to make a smoothie or desert, we will be focusing on the freeze dried Acai powder that can be put in capsules to make Acai supplements.

Now that we know Acai powder exists - the question is...
