Acai is a small,purple grape-like fruit that is native to the Brazilian Amazon.Known as the "purple pearl of te Amazon", this fruit is rich in antioxidants,healthy omega fats,protein, and fiber with a raspberry/chocolate flavor.It is used in a wide range of foods from juices, smoothies,ice cream, and as a sauce for roasted,grilled meats.
Acai is impossible to find fresh outside of Brazil but you can find acai frozen pulp in any health food store.Here's my recipe for a smoothie using acai puree.
