Did you know the açaí berry, officially a drupe, is one of the only fruits in the world that is naturally sugar-free and rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and flavonoids? Açaí berries have a unique nutritional profile for a fruit, as they're high in unsaturated fats and low in sugar. They also have incredibly high amounts of antioxidants, almost three times the amount found in regular blueberries.
