Acai berry is often regarded as a superfood. It is a dark purple-red berry produced from the Acai palm tree in South America. It is the world's most well-known antioxidant active substance. Acai berry is easily absorbed by the human body and is an immune system booster. It has a low sugar content and is a good source of fiber. Acai berry is also an excellent source of multiple nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and phytosterols, which can provide a perfect complex of almost all essential amino acids.

The fruit, commonly known as açaí or açaí berry, is a small, round, black-purple drupe about 25 mm (1 in) in circumference, similar in appearance to a grape, but smaller and with less pulp and produced in branched panicles of 500 to 900 fruits. The exocarp of the ripe fruits is a deep purple color, or green, depending on the kind of açaí and its maturity. The mesocarp is pulpy and thin, with a consistent thickness of 1 mm (0.04 in) or less. It surrounds the voluminous and hard endocarp, which contains a single large seed about 7–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) in diameter. The seed makes up about 60–80% of the fruit. The palm bears fruit year round but the berry cannot be harvested during the rainy season.
