What are açaí berries?
Acai berries are small, deep purple fruits that grow on the acai palm (Euterpe oleracea) in the Amazon. With their intense color and slightly nutty, chocolatey flavor, they are not only delicious, but also a nutritional powerhouse.
- Origin: Amazon rainforest in Brazil
- Taste: creamy, slightly sour-sweet, with notes of cocoa
- Nutrients: Packed with antioxidants, fiber, healthy fatty acids, and vitamins (especially vitamins A, E, and C)
Açaí berries have been used by locals for centuries as a source of energy and health. Worldwide, they are especially valued as a superfood for their powerful antioxidant profile.
From berry to açaí puree: how is it made?
The açaí berry consists largely of pits; only the thin, nutritious pulp is used. Açaí berries must be processed immediately after harvesting, because they oxidize quickly and are lost. In Brazil, the pulp is therefore immediately pureed, pasteurized and deep-frozen into açaí puree .
- Step 1: Harvesting and selecting fresh açaí berries (by hand!)
- Step 2: Wash and separate pulp and pit
- Step 3: Grind to a smooth puree
- Step 4: Pasteurize and flash freeze to preserve nutrients
Açaí puree retains its vitamins, minerals and antioxidants – without artificial colours or flavours and without added sugars. This makes it the basis for authentic açaí bowls worldwide.
Why is açaí puree so healthy? Key benefits at a glance
Superfood is not an empty term. The deep color of açaí puree reveals how many antioxidants (such as anthocyanins) this berry contains. Antioxidants protect our body against free radicals, strengthen the immune system and support recovery after exercise or stress.
Top Health Benefits of Açaí Puree:
- Rich in antioxidants: Protects body cells from damage
- Supports the immune system: Thanks to vitamins C and E
- Fiber: Good for your digestion and feeling of satiety
- Healthy Fatty Acids: Omega-6 and 9 promote a healthy heart and cholesterol levels

Açaí puree fits so perfectly into a balanced, conscious lifestyle. It is not without reason that the açaí bowl is popular with athletes, students, heads of families and food lovers.
