Naturya Organic Acai Powder is natural goodness that supports healthy teeth, vision, digestion and the immune system. The grape-like purple açaí berry grows in the Amazon rainforest where it has long been embraced by the local people for its distinctive taste.
When ripe, the rich fruit is pulped and freeze-dried to provide an authentic flavour of Brazil. This super fruit is a great source of mono-unsaturated fat & fibre. A single serving contains 3 times your daily requirement of manganese which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Loaded with vitamin A and a good source of iron.
Our acai comes from Pará in northern Brazil. The deep purple acai berry is wild harvested by Amazonian riverside communities. It is known locally as the beauty berry. Locals who make their living from harvesting acai berries are called ribeirinhos or “people who live on the river’s riverines”. Fresh berries are carefully washed before the pulp is extracted, pasteurized and frozen.
Our acai is always freeze-dried (at a maximum of 3 days post-harvest), perfectly preserving the product without preservatives or irradiation. The acai pulp is frozen at extremely low temperatures, removing all water – a process called sublimation. Over-processing of acai by heating, or standard freezing methods, can produce an unpleasant brown powder.
