All about açaí · say “ah-sah-EE”

Açaí, from palm to bowl.

Açaí starts as a small, deep-purple berry harvested from palm trees in the Amazon. After picking, the berries are washed and softened so the pulp can be separated from the large seed inside. The pulp is then frozen to preserve its freshness.

At Smashberry, we blend that pulp into a creamy base for our signature bowls and smoothies. Its earthy berry flavour and subtle cocoa notes pair beautifully with fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and your favourite toppings.

    On the palm

    Açaí grows in clusters at the top of tall palm trees in the Amazon. Each small, deep-purple berry hides a large seed under a thin layer of pulp.

    The harvest

    After picking, the berries are washed and softened so the pulp can be separated from the seed.

    The pulp is extracted, then frozen to keep it fresh all the way to Montréal. Here, at the açaí factory in Brazil.
