What it is

Acai fruit extract comes from the small, dark purple berries of the acai palm tree, native to Central and South America. The berries are typically harvested, processed to remove seeds and pulp, and then dried or extracted to create a concentrated powder or liquid.

Why it's used

Acai extract is often used to add a natural, deep purple color to foods and beverages. It's also valued for its antioxidant content and is frequently included in products marketed for health benefits, such as energy drinks, smoothies, and supplements.

Health notes

In the US, acai extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is rich in antioxidants, which are compounds that may help protect cells from damage. International bodies like EFSA have not set a specific ADI for acai extract, but it is generally considered safe at typical dietary levels. Research is ongoing regarding the full range of health effects.

Allergen info

Acai fruit extract is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
