Harvesting the berry The process begins with harvesting the acai berry deep within the Amazon.
The 12 inch section of the tree known as the palmito or (the heart of the palm) is where the acai is taken out of.
The company makes sure that the harvesting method removes only the acai berries thus preserving the life of the tree and the Amazon Rain forest.
The acai is a powerful yet delicate fruit and if not properly harvested the vitamin and nutrient can be lost within 24 hours after harvesting.
To preserve its full complement of nutrients, the acai is frozen soon after harvesting.
The berry is then processed in a unique freeze-dried formula, which makes this berry the most effective and nutrient-dense form of the acai available.
Formulation and bottling Most companies use a process known as kettle pasteurization.
The process is heating the formula for several hours and this can inadvertently "cook out" many of the nutritional properties.
This company uses what's called flash pasteurization in which the formula is rapidly heated, bottled and cooled, thereby capturing the fresh flavors, vibrant colors, and beneficial properties of the blend.
This may be why some over the counter drinks that claim to have the acai berry in them, just do not have the nutritional qualities of our companies blend.
This blend of nutritional drink cannot be purchased over the counter.
