Organic Acai Pulp

Acai pulp comes from the acai berry, a small, dark purple fruit native to Central and South America. The berries are typically harvested, pulped, and then frozen or freeze-dried to preserve their nutrients and flavor. The pulp is often used as a base for smoothies, bowls, and other frozen desserts.

Manufacturers use acai pulp primarily for its vibrant color, rich flavor, and nutritional profile. It adds a fruity taste and a deep purple hue to products. It is commonly found in frozen desserts, smoothies, juices, and snack bars.

Acai is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated acai, but no specific numeric limits are set. Research suggests acai may have antioxidant benefits, but more studies are needed to confirm specific health effects at typical consumption levels.
