FAQs

What is açaí pulp?

Açaí pulp is made from the açaí berry, a small purple fruit native to the Amazon rainforest, known for its high antioxidant content and rich, creamy texture.

Can I use fresh açaí instead of frozen?

Fresh açaí is rare and perishable; frozen pulp is more commonly available and ideal for smoothies to achieve a thick, cold texture.
