Açaí is a palm tree widespread in the Amazonas region, whose fruit is a blue-violet berry with very distinctive taste.Given its very high solids content, açaí is diluted before commercialization. Depending on the level of dilution, açaí is classified in raw açaí pulp, gross (14%), medium (12%) and fine açaí (10%), with decreasing levels of solids.

It is considered a “superfood” thanks to its exceptional functional values:

Açaí is a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly of oleic and palmitoleic acids (fatty acids that are not synthesized by the human body), as well as of precursors of vitamin A (350 µg RE/100 g of dry substance).
Açaí has an high content of flavonoids, especially of 2 antocyanidines (cyanidine-3-O-β-glucoside and rutinoside) and of other substances such as phytosterols (β-sitosterols). The first ones are antioxidants and thus considered helpful in protecting from cardio-vascular diseases and some type of cancer.
