Acai Berry Pulp

Product Description

The acai berry is an inch-long, reddish-purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America. Some studies show that acai fruit pulp is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries.



Acai berries are native to Central and South America, especially the Amazon region where theyve been a staple in the diet of native tribes such as the Caboclo. They grow on the acai palm tree, which can reach heights up to **0 feet.



 



The dark purple berries are about the size of a grape. Curious what acai tastes like? Its kind of like eating a blackberry and chocolate at the same time.



 



While they may look like a large and darker blueberry, acai is actually a drupe. A drupe is defined as a fleshy fruit with a thin skin and contains a central stone or pit (think peaches and cherries).
