Is there a specific amount that needs to be taken in order to benefit from its nutrients?

There is still no research by the USDA that confirms this. But we suggest that one serving of acai a day in the form of smoothies, juices and sorbets can obtain the quantity of antioxidants required by your body per day. Not to mention great quantities of fibers, vitamins, proteins, fatty acids and minerals. Including acai in your diet will boost the quantity of nutrients that you usually consume in your daily food intake.

Why is it not possible to enounter açaí in nature?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to eat this incredible fruit naturally outside the zones of acai production. It is because this is highly perishable, losing its nutritional capacity after 24 hours of extraction. In order to be consumed, acai should immediately after extraction, be made into a pulp by a proper machine or manually beaten to a pulp. In releasing the pulp and mixing it with water, it is transformed into a thick juice also known as acai wine, a raw material for our products. In the factory of our producers, acai is then pasteurized, according to lawful standards, frozen and packed, awaiting its secure and hygienic transport to the United States.


What is the difference between Rainforesta and other importers of açaí?

Due to the fact that we are a Brazilian company, we have the competency to distinguish and offer the purest acai without the use of heavy chemical process that alters the true characteristics of the true acai of the Amazon. Rainforesta acai, beyond being organic and pasteurized, contains 11% percent of a solid content that brings an exceptional flavor, texture and level of nutrients.


What is the mission of the company?

-To provide a natural and organic product with high quality, with high nutritional value, that improves the quality of life of producers and consumers and follows the principals of sustainable development and consumer consciousness


Why is Rainforesta a company with socio-environmental consciousness?

Because we developed a work that benefits all involved in the company's process as well as the planet that we live. More specifically, we can say that we act by the following principals:

- Sustainable development: açaí extraction is made by riverside communities, respecting local tradition while at the same time protecting the forest from being cut for palm cultivation or land use for other things, like grazing. The local people gain more from the extraction of the fruit than from logging. They live a better life, they eat better and the Amazon forest benefits from more conservation.

- Conscious consumption: when a person chooses açaí above other options, he brings home a highly nutritious product while at the same time contributes to saving the earth.
