Acai, a superfruit
Delicious as you wish and with many benefits!
What is acai?
Acai is a berry that grows at the top of palm trees in the heart of the Amazon. The berries of this palm tree have always been a traditional part of the diet of Amazonian tribes, who use them as a natural remedy for various illnesses (digestive disorders, skin diseases, etc.).
Today, we invite you to discover its fruity and chocolatey flavors for breakfast, instead of a meal, or after exercise.
The Legend of the Weeping Fruit
A long time ago, there lived a young Amazonian girl named Iaca. Her father was the chief of a tribe that had grown so large that there was no longer enough food for all his people. The chief then decreed that all newborns should be killed. But some time later, Iaca gave birth to a child, whom she had to part with.
After crying for her child for days, one evening Iaca heard something like a baby's wailing coming from outside. She found no one, but, exhausted, lay down under a palm tree covered in fruit that had just emerged from the ground.
The next day, the tribe discovered Iaca's body under the new tree. Intrigued by this palm tree they had never seen before, the villagers ate the fruit, which satisfied them. The chief then repealed his cruel decree and declared that the fruit would henceforth bear his daughter's name, but in reverse: Iaca becoming Acai. Thanks to the abundance of food, the tribe grew and flourished.
This is how for decades, acai has been appreciated by all Brazilian people.
