Everything About Acai Powder – Your Questions Answered

Welcome to our in-depth FAQ guide on Organic Açaí Berry Powder. Whether you're a health-conscious consumer, formulator, or retailer, this page will answer your most common questions about the origin, nutrition, safety, and everyday use of this powerful purple superfood.

What is Açaí Powder and how is it made?

Açaí powder is made from the açaí berry, a small fruit native to the Amazon rainforest. We use the Euterpe precatoria variety, which is known for its naturally higher antioxidant content and lower fat levels compared to the more common Euterpe oleracea.

After harvesting, the berries are freeze-dried at low temperatures to preserve their nutritional value, flavour, and deep colour. The result is a nutrient-dense, shelf-stable powder ideal for daily use.

Why is your Açaí Powder so dark in colour?

The rich dark colour of our açaí powder indicates a high concentration of polyphenols—powerful antioxidants found in the fruit's skin and pulp. This natural darkness is a sign of quality. Lighter powders may be the result of excessive dilution, heat damage, or poor fruit quality.
