Açaí
Acai is a small purple berry native to the Brazilian Amazon. Resembling a large blueberry, it grows in clusters at the tops of palm trees and is harvested by hand, mainly between August and December. Since only a thin portion of the fruit is edible, the berries are selected, washed, and then pulped with water to separate the pulp from the pit. This process relies on traditional know-how closely tied to the Amazonian region.
FROM THE BAY TO ACAI PULP
Açaí is a small purple berry native to the Brazilian Amazon. Resembling a large blueberry, it grows in clusters at the tops of palm trees and is hand-picked, mainly between August and December.
Since only a small portion of the fruit is edible (10%), açaí berries are selected, washed, and then pulped with water to separate the pulp from the pit. This process relies on traditional know-how closely linked to the Amazonian region.
why is açaí sold as frozen purée?
Once pulped, açaí becomes a particularly delicate fruit that deteriorates very quickly. To preserve its color, texture, and nutritional qualities, the pulp is therefore pasteurized and then frozen immediately after extraction, an essential step that ensures consistent quality until use.
Convenient to store and portion, frozen açaí purée is an ideal base for preparing açaí bowls, smoothies, drinks, and desserts. Nossa! offers several solutions suited to professionals: plain purée with no added sugars, a recipe with 10% organic cane sugar, ready-to-serve sorbet for scooping, and preparation for soft-serve ice cream machines.
The nutritional properties of acai

A sugar-free fruit
Acai is one of the fruits containing very little simple sugar. Our acai purée contains 0.6 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, including 0 g of sugars. Our product therefore meets the European criteria for using the claim “sugar-free,” as defined by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
High in fiber
With 3.33 g of fiber per 100 kcal, acai contributes to daily dietary fiber intake. This fiber contributes to the fruit’s nutritional characteristics and enhances its value as part of a varied and balanced diet. Our product therefore meets the European criteria for using the claim “high in fiber,” as defined by Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006.
Rich in manganese
Our standard organic acai puree contains 7.3 mg of manganese per 100 g, equivalent to 365% of the reference intake. Manganese contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal bones, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Rich in unsaturated fats
Unlike most fruits, acai naturally contains a high level of fat, primarily in the form of unsaturated fats. Our standard organic açaí purée contains 4.8 g of unsaturated fat per 100 g. Our product therefore meets the European criteria for using the “rich in” claim, as defined by Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
