Açaí Superfood - What Makes Açaí a Superfood?

Açaí continues to gain popularity, but what exactly is it about Açaí that makes it a superfood? Get all the details you need to know from SAMBAZON!

What Makes Açaí a Superfood?

Açaí has become a household name in recent years and is continuing to grow more and more popular. This rise in popularity is not just because of its delicious and unique flavor and the variety of ways that it can be prepared, but also because of its perceived “superfood” health benefits.

So -- Is Açaí really a superfood?

SAMBAZON, known as the best Açaí brand, has collected all of the available information about the Açaí health benefits so that you can decide for yourself!

What are Açaí Berries and Where Do They Come From?

Açaí is more than just your average berry, it is a nutrient-packed Amazonian berry that has long been a staple of indigenous diets. Fresh Açaí berries will not be found in the produce section of grocery stores since the berries themselves have a short shelf life. They are instead sold as a frozen fruit puree or pressed juice.

The unique, exotic flavor of Açaí is something in between mixed berries, dark chocolate, and red wine, providing a savory, diverse flavor that has made it such a popular base for smoothies.

From the beginning, SAMBAZON has been committed to giving back to the community of farmers and protecting the biodiversity of the Amazon. In order to do so, we created our own responsibly managed supply chain of Certified Organic and Fair Trade Açaí that ensures the Açaí comes directly from the palm of the tree to the palm of your hands.
