Product of Brazil

Throughout the dense rainforest of the Brazilian Amazon, 25-foot tall palm trees (of the Euterpe genus) grow along the tropical floodplains. The versatile acai palm tree has been cherished for centuries because it provides more than 20 uses. They are routinely climbed by the Caboclo populations who rely on the nutritious acai berry as a staple food prized for both culinary and medicinal uses.

Navitas Naturals Acai Powder is made from hand-harvested acai berries that have been freeze-dried and low-temperature milled to retain all the nutritional benefits and flavor.

Nutrition Facts

Navitas Naturals Acai Powder contains a vast array of nutritious vitamins and minerals including B-vitamins, vitamin K, potassium and manganese, and potent antioxidants like resveratrol, cyanidin-3-galactoside, ferulic acid, delphinidin, epicatechin, protocatechuic acid and ellagic. Acai is also a great source of oleic and linoleic acids - essential omega fats that have cholesterol-reducing effects. Omega fatty acids are also terrific for promoting glowing skin and hair, and improving brain function.

The Power Of Acai

The deep purple hue of Navitas Naturals Acai Powder indicates that it is an abundant source of powerful antioxidant polyphenols and flavonoids that are known for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and free radical-fighting effects. Acai is loaded with healthy monosaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein, fiber and other essential nutrients that make the acai berry one of the most nutritious foods on Earth.

In addition to acai's many health and nutrition attributes, the sustainable harvest of the berry provides many social benefits throughout the supply chain. The eco-friendly harvest of acai generates income for local communities and is a viable economic alternative to cutting down the trees in the Amazon. The indigenous communities who live in the rainforest depend on natural resources for their livelihoods and for their own sustenance.

The Amazon rainforest plays a major role in the global climate and is home to 1/3 of the planet’s biodiversity and discharges 1/4 of the Earth’s fresh water. The unique root systems of the graceful palm trees naturally protect soil from erosion. The safe and sustainable trade of ingredients from the Amazon is important for our future.

You'll find a wide range of uses for Navitas Naturals Acai Powder. The rich and creamy texture blends perfectly into smoothies and shakes, yogurts and dessert recipes. The chocolate berry flavor is delightfully mild and full of possibilities!
