ACAI BERRY FARMING
The acai berry is an inch-long, reddish-purple fruit. It comes from the acai palm tree, which is native to Central and South America. Some studies show that acai fruit pulp is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries.

Like other berries, acai berries contain antioxidants and fiber. Some proponents call them a superfood, claiming they help various health concerns, including arthritis, weight loss, high cholesterol and erectile dysfunction.

Acai berries grow in clusters of 700 to 900 fruit. Each is about 1 inch in diameter and has a single large seed. While acai berries resemble grapes, they produce far less pulp; in fact,about 80% of each berry is seed. However, the way that they are prepared and served is similar.

Traditionally, the berries were harvested by hand, though this has changed as the demand for the popular fruit has increased. Acai palms are now farmed and mass-produced to keep up with the health-conscious fan base they have attracted.

In a study of three traditional Caboclo populations in the Amazon region of Brazil, açaí palm was described as the most important plant species because the fruit makes up such a major component of diet (up to 42% of the total food intake by weight) and is economically valuable in the region (Murrieta et al., 1999). It is still prepared in the traditional way in much of Brazil; the pulp and juice are served in cuias with tapioca and sugar, or alone chilled in a bowl. Another traditional method of preparation was to combine the juice with a starchy root called manioc to create a purple porridge

Acai berries are first soaked in water to soften their hard outer shell. Each fruit is then squeezed and strained to get rid of the seed, leaving a creamy, oily liquid. Acai pulp and juice must be kept refrigerated to maintain its nutritional integrity. The anthocyanins in the juice, which are responsible for producing the antioxidants, degrade quickly when exposed to heat. This liquid can be used in a number of different ways:

Why is acai berry so expensive?
It turns out that açaí is actually a dark purple-blue berry found on Açaí palms in South American rain forests. With the process of harvesting, processing, and shipping, it's no wonder why it's so pricey. This also explains why purchasing frozen açaí is significantly cheaper and more available than other varieties.

Growing tips
Acai palms grow best in a position with part shade and moist, slightly acidic soil.
They prefer warm temperatures of 70 degrees fahrenheit (21 degrees celsius) and above.
Acai palms grown in containers will need good drainage holes at the bottom of the container.
The trees are fast growing, so you’ll need to repot them every six months or so when they start to outgrow the container.
Acai palm trees are self-pollinating, so you only need to plant one tree to get fruit.
It can take between 3 to 5 years for the trees to begin producing fruit.
If you see purple flowers beginning to appear, it’s a sign that the fruit is not far away.
The harvest time for Acai berries is usually during fall but in tropical areas there is a long harvest season lasting 6 to 8 months and the trees usually produce 2 lots of fruit during this time.
