Acaí Palm grows in tropical Central and South America, growing mainly in floodplains and wetlands. The Acaí Palm produces a crop of berries twice per year. For the indigenous peoples of the Amazon region of Brazil, Acaí fruit makes up a major component of their diet. Additionally, Acaí has become increasingly economically valuable in the region. Utilizing the berries contributes to the local economy of the rainforest without harming the trees. This is important as Acaí juice and blends are no longer limited to the Amazon region, but are now a part of the world wide market. The fruits deteriorate rapidly after harvest, so outside the trees growing region the fruit is generally only available as juice or fruit pulp that has been frozen or dried, preserving the high ORAC* antioxidant value of the Acaí fruit. Low temperature dried Acaí powder is naturally rich in fiber, healthy fats, protein and organic vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin C and Potassium. The ORAC value of To Go Brand’s acaí is preserved by a patented Infrared Low Temperature (ILT) process. The dense pigmentation of açaí is from its high antioxidant phytonutrients (flavonoid polyphenols) that give the berries their deep color. Unlike most other berries, the antioxidant power of Acaí quenches both water soluble and fat soluble free radicals. In addition, antioxidant testing (ORAC) of properly dried Acaí powder shows an extremely high and long lasting antioxidant effect.
