Acai – Brazilian Super Fruit

This fruit is dressed in a strong deep purple colour, its juice brings natural colour to beverages, its taste is different than the other red fruits and it recalls the life style of the tropics.

18/10/06 Duas Rodas is promoting Açaí as the Brazilian super fruit that can bring an exotic and healthy image to products. Exotic because it is new to Europe, only grows in Brazil, has been consumed for centuries by the Brazilians from the North of the country and brings the taste of the tropics to Europe. This fruit is dressed in a strong deep purple colour, its juice brings natural colour to beverages, its taste is different than the other red fruits and it recalls the life style of the tropics.

Assai/Açaí is very rich in antioxidants and its pulp is also rich in fats, minerals and proteins. It is also healthy because it has given the native people of Marajó Island, a good nutritional standard of health, despite the fact that their diet consists mainly of this, a few other fruits and buffalo meat. Incorporation of the ingredient gives a sound base to the positioning of a product in the functional segment with a wide range of promotional platforms.

The company further prepares/refines the pulp for customers, in the form of a concentrated, limpid, homogeneous and deep coloured juice, easy to be formulated in drinks, milky juices and yoghurts. Duas Rodas also extract from the pulp the healthy goodness, in the form of an extract which can be used in liquid and powder forms for all ranges of cereal bars, ice cream products, confectionery and any other applications imaginable.
