Strawberry. Raspberry. Blueberry. Blackberry. These types of berries are tasty, nutritious and colorful. However, the new berry on the block that trumps them all is the purple berry called açaí. Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is a fruit that is grown in the Amazon forest. Unlike other berries, it has more of a berry-cocoa flavor than a fruity flavor. Although pomegranate is well-known for having a lot of antioxidant power, açaí packs much more.
If you are not headed to Brazil anytime soon, you can still get your daily fix of açaí. Sambazon, the leader in açaí products, offers a whole line of items made with this organic purple fruit to choose from: juices, smoothies, sorbet and supplements. One sip of Organic Açaí Juice Rio Energy will have you energized and ready to go as if you were at Carnaval.
