Acai berry is a tropical fruit from an acai palm, one of the 8 species of the palm genus Euterpe. This type of palm grows mainly on swamps and flood plains in the amazons of Brazil, some parts of Peru, and Central and South America. Euterpe palms are usually slim and tall, growing up to 15 to 30 meters in height, with leaves extending up to 3 meters long. Acai palms, scientifically known as Euterpe Oleracea, are famous for their highly nutritious fruit and superior hearts of palm.
The acai berry fruit, which is usually purple, round-shaped fruit much like a grape fruit, is produced in branched pinnacles of about 700 to 900 fruits. Acai palms usually bear fuits twice per year. Each fruit is made up of pulp and seed. The seed makes up 80% to 90% of the entire fruit. Acai berry fruit is well known to contain high nutritional value that made acai berries popular worldwide.
