Sambazon Organic Acai
Organic and Fair trade - does that make it more expensive, well it adds a little to the expense due to the fact that native workers are paid a decent wage, another thing that effects Acai price is the quality of your starting product and the method of processing. Our acai is either fresh frozen or dehydrated or freeze dried. It is a full fibre powder with full Omega oil content. It is more expensive to produce than other types of dried acai you will find in capsules. Cheaper methods of production will use maltodextrin spray dryeing which can burn acai as it dries leaving it less potent and with less oils. Your Acai should look dark purple, not grey, not white powder but purple.
Have a look at these 3 pictures of Capsules and powders and see what real acai looks like compared to extract. (extract 2 is of particularly poor quality remember that Acai is purple ! Our PURPLE Acai a massive has 478 ORAC Unts per gram)

Our Scoops are full 100% Acai dark purple powder you see above.
Power Scoop or Caps ? Great for smoothies (mix with Apple juice and Banana in a blender for a drink that you can take on Hikes or Sport that will keep you fueled!) The powerscoop is good to add to deserts. Chopped Banana and Berries, a scoosh of some fruit juice (mango mixed is great) and a scoop of Acai and a dash of Agave Nectar and you are in for a fantastic and delicious anti-oxidant rich dessert.
Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is an antioxidant rich berry that grows wild in the Brazilian Amazon and is considered to be one of the top Superfoods in the world. Our Acai is an all natural energy fruit from Amazon palmberries. Wild Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, it has just been given Organic status. It is fairly traded helping the local economy and like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Acai is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential omegas (the good-for-you fatty acids).
Analysis reveals that Acai pulp contains:
A remarkable concentration of antioxidants, to help combat premature ageing, with 10-30 times the anthocyanins (purple colored antioxidants) of red wine.

An almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle contraction and regeneration.
