Why Acai is so good for us?
Acai is loaded with antioxidants (considerably more than pomegranate, blueberries
and grapes). Antioxidants are molecules that may protect cells from the
damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical
damage may lead to cancer. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free
radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals otherwise might
cause. Acai also carries lots of fibers, healthy monounsaturated fats, iron
and amino acids. To learn more about acai health benefits click here.

Why Can't I buy the Acai Berries?
The acai berry is about 97-98% seed, and only 2-3% "meat" (as
the Brazilian locals call it). 24 hours after harvested, the Acai berry
already lost most of its nutritional value.
Why Acai is called the "super food" ?
Acai is loaded with antioxidants, about 20 times more than red wine, which
helps fight aging. Acai also carries lots of fibers, healthy monounsaturated
fats, iron and amino acids.
Why Acai Roots?
Acai roots was developed by three local Brazilians who were born and raised
in Rio de Janeiro during the Acai boom (80's-90's). During that time they
were "spoiled" with most delicious and healthy Acai bowls (the
real Rio de Janeiro style Bowl), and created real high-standard for Acai.
When they were exposed to the Acai available in the US (2000-2001), they
thought it wasn't close to what they were used to back home. That is when
Acai Roots started to be formed.
Today Americans can really enjoy the real Rio de Janeiro style Acai bowl.
Why does Acai Roots taste so much better than the other Acai products
available in the US?
The main reason why Acai Roots tastes so much better than any other Acai
products in the US is because it was formulated by very demanding Brazilian
locals.
Are Acai Roots products 100% Natural?
Yes, all of our products are 100% Natural made with wild harvested (non-farmed)
acai berries. We ensure all of our acai berries are harvested in a sustainable
manner, protecting and preserving the Amazon Rainforest. Since our products
