What is Grade A Acai?

Acai berries are a Brazilian grape “superfruit” native to the Amazon region. This dark purple fruit certainly packs a lot of nutrition and health benefits. Fresh acai berries are 1-inch round fruits that grow on acai palm trees in the rainforests of Central and South America. They have a dark purple skin and yellow flesh surrounding a large seed. The fruit is soaked to soften the tough outer skin and then mashed to form a dark purple paste. They have an earthy taste that’s often described as a cross between blackberries and unsweetened chocolate.

Acai is classified into 3 categories:

Pure 100% rich purple color "Grade A"

Not as pure as "Grade A"

Most companies use "Grade C"

These categories are determined by the percentage of actual acai fruit in the pulp. The higher concentration of actual acai fruit in the pulp, the higher the grade.
