Pulpa Açai Berry Freeze Dried + FREE Acai & Green Tea Infusion 

FREEZE DRIED POWDER
The freeze drying process retains all the nutritional properties of acai through reducing the pulp into a fine powder at very low temperatures.  Unlike extracts, freeze dried acai completely captures the unique synergy of nutritional benefits found in acai and is completely pure with no carrying agents.  We guarantee our freeze dried powder to be the very best quality and we back this up fully with our nutritional analysis.  It is simply pure acai with nothing added and is excellent as a versatile ingredient.

  The Difference Between Freeze Dried Powder and Extracts
  Extracts are normally made from spray dried acai powder and are often found in acai capsules.  Spray drying is done at high temperatures and tends to loose over 40% of the nutritional qualities.  In addition they require large amounts of carrying agents (40-50%) such as starch or maltodextrin to help aid the shelf life.  These products tend to contain less than half the amount of acai with a 4:1 ratio compared to the freeze dried versions that have over double this.  In total, extracts are often 6-8 times less potent than the freeze dried versions and this can be reflected in the cheaper price.
  
  ORAC Value of Pulpa Acai
  Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a unit value assigned by researchers to determine the antioxidant value and potency of a given food.  Foods with a high ORAC value are beneficial to the body by increasing plasma antioxidant levels, therefore helping protect the cells from damage by oxygen radicals.
  
  Research suggests that the average person only gets about 1200 ORAC unit servings of fruit and vegetables daily.  However 3000+ ORAC units are required on a daily basis to have a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity.
  
  Pulpa Freeze Dried powder is independently tested as having extremely high ORAC levels with a 3g teaspoon providing around 1500 units and two teaspoons around 3000 units.  This comes from the highest quality acai with nothing added.
