We are pleased to offer the only truly raw Acai in New Zealand:

This Acai pulp is NOT pasteurised before it is freeze dried which results in an ORAC score of 9,107 uM trolox / 5g. This is nearly twice as much as Acai sourced from the Brazilian Amazon making it an extremely high source of anti-oxidants. (By law, all Brazilian acai products, even the freezedried powder is pausterised before processing so this Columbian Acai is the only RAW Acai on the market.)
Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is an all natural energy berry tasting like a unique blend of berries and chocolate.
