About Product
Acai Berry Powder (Euterpe Oleracea) is sourced from the Amazon Rainforest and carefully freeze-dried to help maintain its natural characteristics. This organic powder is known for its rich purple color, naturally occurring phytonutrients, and unique flavor profile. Acai berries also contain beneficial plant compounds, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and trace minerals. The freeze-drying process preserves quality and makes this ingredient a popular choice for smoothies, functional foods, and other formulations.
Some research suggests that Acai Berries may contain the following constituents:
Polyphenolic Anthocyanins: resveratrol, cyanidin-3-galactoside, ferulic acid, delphinidin, petunidin
Proanthocyanidin Tannins: epicatechin, protocatechuic acid, and ellagic acid
Vitamins: A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E, K
Nutrients: Biotin, Boron, Chromium, Copper, Folic Acid, Inositol, Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Pantothenic Acid, Selenium, and Zinc
Essential Amino Acids: Lysine, Leucine, Tryptophan, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Valine, Cystine
Non-Essential Amino Acids: Histidine, Glycine, Arginine, Alanine, Serine, Tyrosine, Aspartate, Glutamate, Proline, Hydroxyproline
This product is 100% natural and minimally processed: Taste, smell, texture, and color vary from batch to batch.
Suggested Use: Mix one tablespoon with juice and yogurt or add to your favorite smoothie.
We recommend refrigerating this product to maintain freshness.
Mixing suggestion: To increase flavor and nutritional profile, combine with our organic maqui and blueberry powders.
