Native to the Amazon, açai is eaten with cassava flour in a sauce over meat or fish, but it's in the form of açaí bowl that it's popularized. This typically Brazilian dish made with açai berries is served as a thick smoothie in a bowl and topped with granola, fruit, guaraná syrup and more.
With its many health benefits, acai is increasingly consumed in the United States and Europe.

The origin of acai, in full transparency
Our acai is grown exclusively in certified organic agroforestry, without any fertilizers or pesticides, and its harvesting brings resources to local people while preserving the biodiversity of ecosystems.
In our case, all the harvesting is done by hand, so production emits no greenhouse gases. On the contrary, growing acai helps to limit deforestation and thus store carbon in the forest. What's more, we work in short circuits with communities of pickers according to fair trade principles (Nossa is Fair for Life certified), so as to guarantee pickers better incomes and greater autonomy..
