Since it’s national acai day, you may be asking a few questions — What is acai? Is it as sugar-y as people claim it to be? Where does it come from? And, HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT?! Have no fear! We have ALL of the answers to these questions!

 

Well, first thing’s first: acai is pronounced Ah-Sigh-EE!

 

WHAT IS ACAI? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

Acai is a small, purple berry native to the South American rainforests and harvested from acai palm trees. Inside the acai berry is a large seed, which is why we only consume a small portion of the berry itself. If you have not tasted acai, think of it as a blueberry with hints of cocoa. Yummy, right?!

 

IS IT AS SUGARY AS PEOPLE CLAIM IT TO BE? Our answer: NOT OURS!

 

Acai is a superfruit that is extremely nutrient dense, full of antioxidants, contains anti-inflammatory properties, boosts brain function, and aids with cholesterol levels. Despite its superhero-esque properties, many shops only provide 30% of acai pulp in their bowls, mix apple juice or banana, store it for a year, and add sugar to increase productivity.

 

We at Playa Bowls take pride in our product for it contains 70% pulp! We never mix it with apple juice or banana, and we never store our acai for more than 21 days.

 

HOW DOES PLAYA BOWLS CREATE PLAYA ACAI?

We at Playa Bowls harvest our very own acai (called Playa Acai) in the Brazilian Amazon. The berries are cleaned and sorted at our facility in Brazil. We then separate the skin from the seed, place the pulp in large, drum-like containers, and ship these containers to our partners in Elizabeth, NJ. Once it’s delivered, the raw, organic pulp is transformed into the Playa Acai. We then ship the Playa Acai to our distributor who then delivers it daily to our stores nationwide!
