The pulp is extracted from the small round fruit which is deep purple in colour. The fruit is only 20% pulp and 80% pit. To produce this dense purple liquid of incomparable flavor, only the pulp and its skin is processed.
The Acai palm is very ornamental, with multiple branches which can reach up to 25 meters in height. The fruit is born in bunches of 3 to 8. Traditionally, acai berries are picked by hand and the tribesmen would shimmy up the tree and cut the branches from the top. The berries are loaded into baskets and onto boats soon after picking. They would have to transport the acai berries overnight to get them to the markets in Belem. The city of Belem, Brazil now employs over 30,000 people on a daily basis to keep up with its enormous demand

What’s the buzz all about?
It looks good, tastes good and helps to fuel the hedonistic energy of Brazilian beach culture. Acai is quite simply “The Sexiest of all fruits!”
We are now living in a dieting culture, where everyone is body conscious. Celebrities are quick to adopt the latest diet craze. Jennifer Aniston helping make the Atkins Diet a phenomenon, The South Beach Diet and Dr. Phil and his Weight Loss Challenge. Certain diets cause controversy and people should be thinking more about having a healthy balanced diet rather than eliminating certain foods from their diet.
Acai, however, appears to be a safe food for celebrities to endorse(Oprah). One serving of Nova Acai juice or smoothie mix on a daily basis can help you reach the recommended daily fruit allowance. (Note: only 17% of people actually eat the necessary allowance of fruit and vegetables per day.)
Improving you eating habits and exercising regularly can help to make Nova Acai one of your best dietary choices!
Acai is incredibly good for you. It tastes great and purchasing Nova Acai will boost the Brazilian economy and help save the Rainforest! It is only a matter of time before the rest of the world falls for this Brazilian Charm!
Nutrition
The nutritional value of our Acai pulp is extraordinary and the scientifically proven energetic properties along with its delicious taste has created a growing demand from manufactures and consumers. Acai appeals to the most sophisticated palate, its taste reminiscent of berries with a hint of chocolate. It has become a popular beverage in juice bars, health clubs and wellness centres, coffee bars(for that caffeine kick) and in many homes where health conscious consumers have taken notice.
Loaded with Antioxidants – The Acai Berry is especially noteworthy for the antioxidant properties afforded by its concentration of anthocyanins. Antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, help the body fight off free radicals. They prevent damage to connective tissue while repairing damaged proteins in blood vessel walls. Studies show a link between the use of antioxidants to help in the fight against premature aging, cancer, cardiovascular and ophthalmological diseases. Healthy hair and skin, natural energy, fewer headaches and a feeling of positive general well being are just some signs of increased antioxidant intake. The antioxidant content in acai leaves all other fruits struggling to catch up.

-2 times greater than pomegranates
-10 to 33 times greater than red wine
Essential Fatty Acids -Omega 6-9 Fatty Acids (the Good for you fats), which are contained in the Acai berry, help battle harmful LDL cholesterol while helping to maintain beneficial HDL levels. Add to this the high concentration of phytosterols (which reduce blood plasma cholesterol), the heart-healthy and anti-aging properties of this fruit are beyond compare. It even has a fatty acid ratio resembling that of olive oil, which is thought to be a contributing factor to the low incidence of heart disease in Mediterranean populations. Deficiencies in EFA’s is linked to many serious health conditions so increasing one’s essential fatty acid intake may help improve mental focus (ADHD), help decrease the chance of heart attack and stroke and reduce the risk of depression.
Vitamins & Minerals – Acai provides a natural range of important vitamins and minerals. Included are vitamin B1(Thiamine), vitamin B2(Riboflavin), vitamin B3(Niacin), vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E; and minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. Acai berries are also high in fiber. Foods high in fiber help move substances through the digestive track and arteries and is said to help prevent colon cancer. These along with essential amino acids aid in endurance, strength, sustained energy, proper muscle contraction, regeneration and digestion.
Calcium – Acai has a significant amount of calcium. Calcium helps to strengthen bones and helps develop healthy teeth and gums. Calcium-rich foods tend to coat the lining of the stomach and uterus and reduce pain from cramps and bloating. Comparing Acai to milk, the berries contain 3 times as many lipids, 7 times the carbohydrates, 118 times the iron, 9 times as much Vitamin B1 and 8 times as much vitamin C. They also have the same amount of protein and calcium as in milk. Acai berries may be a proverbial “Fountain of Youth.”
Low Glycemic Index – Another benefit of Acai is its low glycemic index. The glycemic index is the ranking of carbohydrates based on their effect on blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates that breakdown slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream, have a low glycemic index. Foods that are low in glycemic levels are slow to digest and be absorbed into the body’s bloodstream and cause the body’s blood sugar and insulin levels to rise slowly. This benefits those who want to control their wieght because it helps control appetite and delay hunger.
People’s vitality today is often expressed in physical activities and mental well being. Due to the almost completely maintained vitamin and mineral profiles of our Acai products, our Nova Acai juice and Smoothie Mix play an important role in maintaining a healthy diet by providing part of the daily allowance of certain vitamins and minerals based on Canada’s Food Guide.

Acai and its Social Resposibility…
The environment is a very important factor when cultivating Acai. With each purchase of our Acai products, you are contributing to the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest and to the improvement of the quality of life of the rural population of the region.
The mission of Natures Best Crop Inc. and Acai Canada is to provide our customers with the highest quality Acai products available.
Celebrities that are currently promoting Acai will also take comfort in the thought that demand for Acai is boosting the local economy of the Amazon estuary. Growing and harvesting Acai offers the most financially rewarding form of production. Our manufacturers employ over 135 coworkers and generate income for more than 200 families who are responsible for the collection of Acai in the inner-lands of Para. Our manufacturers also collaborate in governmental projects for the local children and teenagers and promotes projects such as Fabrica de Idolos and Vida Ativa, social programs to help stimulate physical activities which result in a better quality of life. As a result, NGO’s (non-governmental organisations) are using this as an example of how production can be sustained locally.
With celebrities like Chris Martin of Coldplay promoting fair trade and Sting with wife Trudie Styler establishing The Rainforest Foundation, you too can support the preservation of the Rainforest by purchasing our Acai products and promoting the Acai Industry.
