Jun 15, 2023

At Aubergine Kitchen, we’re committed to using only the highest quality ingredients to create dishes that not only taste great but also provide exceptional health benefits. One of our favorite ingredients is real Brazilian Acai, and today we want to share with you the science-backed benefits of investing in quality.

Many restaurants use fake Acai products that are made with fillers, artificial colors, and added sugars. While these products may be cheaper, they lack the natural health benefits and superior taste of real Brazilian Acai. In contrast, real Brazilian Acai is a nutrient-dense superfood that’s packed with antioxidants, fiber, healthy fats, and essential vitamins and minerals.

According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, real Brazilian Acai has significantly higher levels of antioxidant activity than the fake stuff, with up to 10 times more anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that helps protect against cellular damage and inflammation. Additionally, real Brazilian Acai has been shown to support healthy digestion, improve cognitive function, and promote healthy skin and hair. (1)

At Aubergine Kitchen, we import our real Brazilian Acai directly from Brazil to ensure that it’s of the highest quality and freshness. While the cost of real Brazilian Acai may be higher than the fake stuff, the health benefits and superior taste make it a worthwhile investment. In fact, a recent survey found that 90% of consumers are willing to pay more for products that offer higher quality and health benefits. (2)

Real Brazilian Acai also has a unique flavor profile that’s both tart and sweet, with notes of earthy cacao and fruity berry. It has a thick and creamy texture that’s perfect for smoothie bowls, desserts, and even savory dishes like sauces and marinades. By using real Brazilian Acai in our dishes, we’re able to create meals that not only taste amazing but also support our customers’ health and wellbeing.

According to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, real Brazilian Acai has a high content of essential fatty acids and amino acids that support healthy brain function, cardiovascular health, and immune function. (3)

As Glucosegoddes, a renowned health expert, says, “Real Brazilian Acai is one of the most antioxidant-rich foods on the planet, and its health benefits are simply amazing. It’s worth investing in quality ingredients that will nourish your body and support your health.” (4)

In conclusion, investing in real Brazilian Acai is a smart choice for your health and taste buds.
