What is the Acai berry?
Acai, also known by its scientific name Euterpe oleracea (and called wasaï or pinot noir in French Guiana), is a majestic palm tree that thrives in the swampy areas of Northern Brazil, mainly in the state of Pará as well as Bahia State.
This region accounts for roughly 60% of Brazil's annual Acai production. The Acai palm tree can reach an impressive height of 20 meters and bears its first fruits from the fourth year, though it takes until its ninth year to achieve optimal yield. The berries ripen in purplish, almost black clusters measuring about 2 cm in diameter.
Beyond its botanical appeal, Acai is globally renowned for its enchanting flavor profile. Its intense purple color and gourmet notes of red berries and raw cocoa make it the star of desserts, smoothies, and creative cooking.
Before the founding of Belém, the Tupi tribe suffered a severe famine. Chief Itaki ordered the sacrifice of all newborns. His daughter, Iaçã, prayed to the god Abaçaí. One night, guided by a child's cry, she discovered her daughter at the foot of a palm tree before passing away from fatigue, her face smiling up at the fruit-laden treetop. Itaki ordered the harvest of these berries, named "Acai" (Iaçã spelled backwards). This "wine" fed the people and ended the sacrifices. Acai became the sacred symbol of life.
Where to find the Acai palm tree in Brazil?
Acai has its exclusive origins in South America. In Brazil, it grows in the states of Pará, Amapá, Maranhão, Amazonas, and along the Mata Atlântica. Between 2010 and 2022, Acai cultivation surged by 675%, proving its central economic role for local communities.
Why is the Acai palm tree ideal for reforestation?
Thanks to its rapid growth and high adaptability to tropical soils, the Acai palm tree serves as an excellent species for reforestation. It acts as a true carbon sink, capturing atmospheric CO2 while fighting soil erosion.
Biodiversity & Social Commitment of Le Comptoir
The rapid expansion of Acai farming sometimes caused biodiversity loss (the "acai-fication" phenomenon). That's why Le Comptoir de Toamasina has been buying Acai since 2017 from a global eco-friendly project: workers use forklifts for harvesting (rather than risky manual tree climbing), receive a fixed salary, private health insurance, and mandatory schooling for their children. This Acai guarantees a better life for those who grow it.
Should you choose frozen Acai or Acai powder?
Whether you want to buy frozen Acai pulp or make it yourself, our freeze-dried Acai powder gives you total flexibility. Feel free to enhance your creations with vanilla extract or raw acerola powder.
Our Acai powder is transported from the Amazon to our laboratory in Belo Horizonte before being cold freeze-dried. This process preserves 100% of its original flavors and nutrients.
