Açai (pronounced ( ah-sigh-EE ) is a fruit that grows on the Açai Palm Trees in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. The açai berry is small in size (smaller than a grape) and is dark purple in color. Açai is mostly seed, covered in a small amount of pulp. In fact, about 90% of the açai berry is seed – it is important to note that no one eats the açai berry seed.
Açai Junky is neither! It does not contain dairy, cream or any type of milk so it’s not an ice cream. Açai Junky is not Sorbet either! Sorbet is basically watery ice with a small amount of fruit or juice, often with high levels or sugar and other sweeteners. An Açai Junky bowl is packed full of açai and all the nutrients that come with it!
No. It is an açai pulp base, there is no powder used.
Research shows that açaí berries are extremely high in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that supports balanced cholesterol levels.
The açai content in the Açai Junky mix is very high, so we do not need to add banana as a substance to thicken our product like traditional blended bowls.
