THE GREAT AMERICAN AÇAÍ DILEMMA

Monday, December 18, 2023

MIAMI, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Açaí has become a worldwide phenomenon. From mega-coffee chains to large franchises, menus now offer Açaí bowls and smoothies. CEO and co-founder of Tropical Açaí, Renata Prates has been in the business for over 8 years, and since bringing her brand of Açaí to the United States, she's noticed a disturbing trend in the food industry. Not all Açaí are created equal. To make it tastier for the consumer, pure Açaí, which has an earthy flavor compared to other berries, undergoes processing, and that's where things go astray.

Key Points: 
  • Tropical Açaí prides itself on having few ingredients, so earlier this year, it sent samples of five different Açaí brands, including their own, to an independent food testing laboratory to see how theirs fared.
  • "Since the Açaí is bought by restaurants in bulk, diners rarely see the exact ingredients in their Açaí bowl".
  • In the case of its pure Açaí, it only has one – Açaí.
  • Tropical Açaí Wholesale Distributor and Açaí Bulk Supplier is an American company dedicated to improving the world through nutritious, and delicious organic Açaí berries.
