Açai Roots is a leading supplier of Amazon-grown açaí berry products. The company was founded in 2005 by three native Brazilians who, upon finding the açaí available in the United Stated disappointing, decided to bring the real deal for their own consumption. What began as something targeted for them, rapidly expanded. As Brazilians and Americans acquaintances tried the açaí they were importing, these guys started to receive orders from their own friends, and soon from the friends of their friends; and this is how Açai Roots was created. As the company began to grow, the founders continued to be committed to their original objective: "bring the delicious, authentic and healthy Brazilian-style açaí to America, along with its lifestyle." Açai Roots products are made from natural wild harvested açaí berries from the Belém region in the State of Pará, where Brazil produces its "cream of the crop" açaí depending on the region it is harvested, the nutritional facts and taste can change. The company manufactures and distributes a full line of pure açaí berry products formulated to exact standards by native ‘cariocas’ (expression use to describe Brazilian borne in Rio de Janeiro). Cariocas are widely known in Brazil for their very active lifestyle and healthy diet which includes açaí as a major constituent. Açaí Roots is also dedicated to supporting the sustainable harvesting of açaí berries in the Brazilian Amazon, which helps protect the rainforest and supports local communities in Brazil.
