Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is an ecologically sustainable berry that grows in the Amazon rainforest. It has long been a staple of the native Brazilian diet, and its intense flavor is often described as a cross between blackberries and chocolate. Served in the traditional Brazilian way, Açaí is topped with granola and sliced bananas for an easy all-natural energy breakfast (Açaí Breakfast Bowl) and healthy pick-me-up snack.

One of the main reasons that fitness-conscious consumers love Açaí is that it provides sustained energy. While many foods (especially those laden with sugar or refined carbs) provide a short-term burst, Açaí is ideal for active people because its benefits can be felt for hours, not minutes. That's why it's perfect as part of a meal or as an any-time–of day delicious snack.
