What is Açaí??? Açaí, pronounced ah-sigh-EE, comes from the açaí berry, which is similar to a grape and grows on the açaí palm tree located in the South American rainforests. The açaí berry is high in fats and low in sugar —researchers suggest that the açaí berry contains more antioxidants than blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and cranberries.
