Acai berries are a deep purple fruit harvested from acai palm trees which are located in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. This delicious berry has incredibly high levels of antioxidants and is also a source of beneficial flavonoids and polyphenols. Indigenous Brazilian tribes have consumed Acai berries for thousands of years for their amazing nourishing properties. Legend has it that acai berries saved an indigenous Brazilian tribe from starvation during a time of severe drought. The leader of the tribe Chief Itaki sadly lost his daughter Iaca during the harsh times, but named the life-saving acai berry (Iaca spelt backwards) in her honour. Our Organic Acai Berry Powder is freeze-dried to ensure all the flavour and vital nutrients contained within the fresh fruit are retained.

It is said to have been named after Buddhists Monks who are believed to have been the first to cultivate the fruit back in the 13th century. It is also known as Luo Han Guo and was traditionally used in herbal medicine. What makes monk fruit so amazing is that its sweetness comes mainly from a unique natural compound called mogroside, which has no impact on blood sugar levels.
