What is Açaí and Where Does It Come From?
Açaí berries have historically been a staple of indeginous diets and are found on the palm trees of the Amazonian rainforest. This nutritional powerhouse tastes like a mix of mixed berries, dark chocolate, and red wine and is deep purple in color. Açaí is often regarded as a superfood because of its nutritional value.
The açaí berry itself has a short shelf life, so it is most commonly imported to the U.S. in the form of frozen purée or juice. SAMBAZON created a responsibly managed supply chain of USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified Açaí that established a direct connection between the Brazilian farmers and the consumer. This process ensures that the product is the highest quality while also being ethically sourced, transported, and processed.
