Article by Marie, purchasing & quality manager, presents açaï: its benefits, its use and its history
The acai berry is the fruit of a tall palm tree native to the Amazon.
This purple super fruit is known for its many nutritional virtues and in particular for its high antioxidant content, which combats cellular aging and ailments linked to oxidation.
Acai is also a very complete food, containing fiber, essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals.
Energizing and revitalizing, the acai berry is an ally of athletes but also of anyone needing an energy boost.
At Sol Semilla, we select a 100% açai powder obtained by freeze-drying, cold drying, by far the best method to preserve the nutrients and flavors of this superfruit.
Its captivating taste, between cocoa and red fruit, is appreciated in desserts, smoothies, but also in sauces for savory dishes, a use little known here but traditionally practiced in the Amazon. If you pass by our restaurant on the Canal St Martin, discover our "acai caviar". (there's not just the acai bowl in life! ;-))
