Now that we know the benefits this fruit can offer; next question is the consumption of ACAI berries. How do we intake these? ACAI berries are grown in the dense forests of Brazil, on palm trees that grow more than 80 ft tall. But that doesn’t stop us from harvesting this goodness and delivering the magic to the other parts of the world. The rich nutrient profile of these ACAI berries is all worth it. In its native, these berries are soaked and softened to remove the skin easily and mashed to paste for consumption. However due to its short life after harvest, ACAI needs to be frozen to preserve them for export from their home countries. This way the goodness could reach worldwide.
