Acai Puree

Acai puree is a deep purple, spoonable blend made from the pulp of acai berries. It tastes earthy and berry-like with soft cocoa notes and a thick, velvety texture; it blends smoothly into cold drinks and adds body to bowls. Common uses include smoothies, smoothie bowls, sorbet bases, and frozen pops; it is typically sold as unsweetened frozen packets.

It originates in the Amazon basin, especially northern Brazil, where acai palm fruit is harvested and pulped near source. Commercial puree is pasteurized and quickly frozen, then exported; it spread to North America through juice bars and smoothie shops.
