With the increasing popularity of the acai berry around the world many people come to us asking: “How can I get the actual fresh acai berries?”. The question makes all the sense, but when you understand how acai grows, how it is harvested and processed the answer to this question becomes very clear.

The acai berry is an extremely perishable fruit, that grows wild in slender tall palm trees all over the Amazon rivers and deltas. The fruit itself is ~ 90% seed, with a thin dark purple pulp around the seed. The acai berry typically takes 24h to rotten from the harvest time. We at Acai Roots work to have our fruit skinned and processed into organic acai frozen pulp within 6 hours. That is our commitment to our valuable consumers, to always bring the freshest acai berries to your table.

Fruit

Not all acai berries are created equally. At Acai Roots we believe the quality of the acai berries we utilize in our products makes ALL the difference, and that is why we only use fresh organic acai berries that are fair traded and certified organic. Our fruit comes from a very specific region near Belem do Para, which is considered the “cream of the crop” of acai berries, and are harvested, received, inspected for quality, and processed into frozen pulp within 4 to 6 hours.

Coconut water, also known as coconut juice, is the clear and thick juice found inside the coconut itself. It has a light and refreshing taste, it is low in calories (about 50 per 8 oz) and it is not too sweet. Not to confuse with “coconut milk” which is white and thick juice extracted by pressing the coconut pulp, which is very used for cooking and has a much stronger “milky” taste. Naturally rich in potassium and electrolytes, coconut water is a perfect refreshment for after a workout or anytime as thirst quencher.

coconut water benefits

The main benefit associated with coconut water is natural hydration due to the unique combination of 5 essential electrolytes: potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium.

• Electrolytes
• No fat
• Low calories
• No cholesterol

acai roots and coconut water

Our journey with coconut water started long time ago, around the same time we started consuming acai back home in Rio. Coconut water has always been part of our lifestyle growing up in Rio, even before the acai boom, coconut water was already present in every corner of Rio, as a natural and delicious way to quench our thirst. Around the 90′s other parts of the country that are far from the coast started consuming lots of coconut water due to the new way of distributing the coconut water in a shelf-stable manner: tetrapak packaging. Even though this packaging is very efficient for distribution, consumers definitely loose a lot on the taste profile and experience.

Organic coconut water acai juice

With the idea to provide the most authentic and functional coconut water beverage we developed our unique and tasty ready-to-drink coconut water+acai juice blend. Combining the antioxidants of the acai berry with the electrolytes of the coconut water, our juice has a winner taste profile with benefits of both fruits.

coconut water growth in the U.S.

Coconut water has been consistently in the US and all over the World in the last couple of years. This boom in demand has put quite a bit of stress in the supply chain of the product worldwide, and brought the quality of the product down. Many of the big players in the coconut water started sourcing their coconut water from other countries, and or using concentrates mixed with water to be able to supply the increasing demand.
