Freeze-dried acai berries
Description
Freeze-dried acai berries are a concentrated, dark purple substance with an intense, slightly earthy and fruity-chocolate flavor, and a slightly powdery texture after dehydration. The freeze-drying process preserves the aroma and color, creating a convenient powder or pieces for quick use. Nutritionally, acai provides valuable antioxidants (anthocyanins), fiber, healthy fats, and trace amounts of vitamins and minerals, which may support the protection of cells against oxidative stress and positively influence metabolism and skin condition. In the kitchen, freeze-dried acai is great for smoothies and bowls, yogurts, muesli, baked goods, energy bars, and sauces, adding intense flavor and color. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place; after opening, it is best kept in the refrigerator or used within a short time to avoid moisture and loss of aroma.
