Açaí na tijela (Açaí in the bowl). A fantastic snack made from the berries of the Açaí palm that grows in the Amazon. It is regarded as a ‘superfood’.

As discovered by local Brazilians this berry is packed with vitamins and minerals which have a healing effect; in recent acai research it has been found to be powerful enough to kill about 80% of cancer cells. This research doesn’t necessarily mean we’ve found the holy grail to cure to cancer but it certainly gives some encouragement as to the vulnerability of the cancer cell and what best combats them. As the scientists perform advanced acai research we will soon know the full capabilities of this Superberry.

Acia Berry contains all of the following: several amino acids, vitamins A, B1 and E, omega fats (the good fats) and proteins. This single food can give you almost all your daily needs. The Acia Berry contains 10 to 30 times more of the same beneficial nutrients as red wine (no you don’t have to stop drinking it as well!), blueberries and grapes. All of these components help you to boost energy, lose weight, improve digestion, reduce bad cholesterol and promotes a restful night’s sleep. This product is reasonably new to the west and Acai Berry supplements and herbal remedies can also be purchased online.

Acai Berry Pâtes de Fruits

Commissioned to make a special acai berry item, pastry chef Montinaro created these fruit forward moist jellies. The greatest amount of sweetness was in the dusting of granular sugar on top of the pâtes de fruits, the gelatinous body itself almost like a subtle blend of blackcurrant and pomegranate. These would no doubt be lovely on a mignardise tray, although its wow factor would likely be that they’re made from those healthful berries.
