NAVITAS NATURALS Organic Acai Powder, 4-Ounce Pouches

Amazon Superfruit Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is a small, dark purple berry that grows on a species of palm tree that thrives throughout tropical regions of South America. To create Navitas Naturals Acai Powder, organic acai berries are sustainably harvested in the Amazon rainforest, freeze-dried, and then milled into a dark purple powder that retains the vital nutrients and flavor of the fresh fruit. Acai is very low in sugar, but it’s not low in flavor. It has a bold tropical fruit taste that is a hybrid of blackberries, raspberries, and dark chocolate. Acai powder is an ideal addition to yogurt, smoothies, chocolate, drinks, and desserts. View larger View larger Omega Fatty Acids, Polyphenols, and Fiber The deep purple hue of Navitas Naturals Acai Powder indicates that it is an abundant source of polyphenols and flavonoids. Specific antioxidants found in acai include resveratrol, cyanidin-3-galactoside, ferulic acid, delphinidin, epicatechin, protocatechuic acid, and ellagic acid. Acai also provides exceptional amounts of omega fats, protein, and fiber. The nutrient-dense superfruit also contains a vast array of vitamins and minerals including B-vitamins, vitamin K, potassium, and manganese. Freeze-Dried, Organic, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, and Kosher 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. Throughout the dense rainforest of the Brazilian Amazon, 25-foot tall palm trees (of the Euterpe genus) grow along the tropical floodplains. The trees are routinely climbed by the indigenous Caboclo people who rely on the nutritious acai berry for both culinary and medicinal uses. Product of Brazil, packed in the USA.
