There are many curiosities about acai that companies are unaware of. This genuinely Brazilian fruit is rich in vitamins and is widely used in the production of juices, sweets, soft drinks, isotonic, among other food items.

Precisely because they do not know the curiosities about acai – and its benefits – that many companies choose to use artificial ingredients of the fruit, instead of its 100% natural input. Adopting healthier measures in production processes is the right way to attract part of the population that has been seeking more natural food options in the market.

The acai powder removes water from the food without compromising its basic characteristics (color, aroma, and flavor) or its nutritional properties. Thus, the use of inputs of this type ensures healthier food.

And if your company still does not know why people value the natural fruit so much, let’s gather some curiosities about acai here.
