ALL THE ACAI BERRY USED IS FREEZE-DRIED - ORGANIC - FAIR TRADE - CERTIFIED ANTIOXIDANT CONTENT

Acai has been recognised as being packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants along with healthy unsaturated fats specifically Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9, amino acids, fibre, protein, and plant sterols.

It is no surprise then, that Acai has been described as a "superfood".

The impresive natural ingredient list of this small berry has many elements which may help support the body's free radical defences.

The Acai Berry used in the products we sell is pure freeze-dried, organic and Fair Trade

Unlike many other Acai products, the products we choose to sell only use premium freeze-dried Acai that as well as having organic certification, is Fair Trade and uses vegetarian capsules.

The Acai is also produced under a 100% sustainable program by Univeral Taste®, a company working in the Brazilian Amazon Rain forest since 1997.

In fact this Acai pioneer goes beyond other companies by also using all the waste from processing to create pots and vases produced from the leaf fibre left over after processing the Acai fruit.

This means more jobs and less deforestation of this vital part of the World's ecosystem.

Processed and freeze-dried in Brazil

Since 1997 extensive research and development has been undertaken by this Brazilian based company to harness the best technology to capture the nutrient value of Açaí making it market-ready for the consumer. In fact they export directly out of the Amazon Rain Forest, unlike most other companies which transport their Acai to the US to process there (which a some loss of potency and efficacy).

In fact this company has been working closely with Brunswick Laboratories in Brazil and the USA to expand knowledge regarding Açaí and antioxidants.

More antioxidants than in Acai Juices

One important fact that has been confirmed is that the only way to preserve antioxidants in Acai is to keep them in a frozen and/or freeze dried state. Unless science comes up with a natural way of preserving antioxidants (anthocyanins) in standard liquid format, it is not possible for Acai juices to keep an equivalent antioxidant content to the freeze-dried Acai powder used in supplements.

The first Worldwide Acai producer

The founder of Universal Taste Inc., Gill Moreira introduced the first Açaí products to the World market in 1998, importing the product into North America in 1999 as part of UT’s Project S.O.S. Amazon Fund, a sustainable program inside the Rain Forest focused on growing and preserving Açaí. Universal Taste also works to support University of Florida’s research in the Rain Forest for natural health cures.
