Açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is more than a passing trend—it’s one of the world’s most iconic superfoods. Born in the heart of the Amazon rainforest and cherished for centuries by Indigenous communities, this deep purple berry has made its way to smoothie bowls, health cafés, and global wellness menus.

At LA ÇAÍ, it’s the center of everything we do. We’ve built our passion, our products, and our places around this vibrant fruit and its powerful story.

Açaí is naturally rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, fiber, and minerals—while being very low in sugar. It’s a nutritional powerhouse that fuels your body and supports your health from the inside out. That’s why it’s loved by athletes, health professionals, and food lovers around the world.

We don’t just serve açaí—we bring its full potential to life. From our organic products to our signature bowls served in Brussels, we’re redefining how açaí is grown, shared, and experienced.

→ Ready to dive deeper into its story?

Açaí has been part of Amazonian life for centuries. Harvested from the Euterpe oleracea palm tree, this small purple fruit grows wild along the rivers of northern Brazil. The berries are picked by hand—no machines, no deforestation—by expert gatherers who climb the trees with tradition and care.

For the Indigenous communities of the Amazon, açaí is more than food. It’s medicine, energy, and cultural identity. It’s been part of their daily diet for generations—long before the rest of the world caught on.

The rise of açaí didn’t happen overnight. In the 1980s, it became popular with Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes and surfers looking for clean, powerful nutrition. Blended with banana and guaraná syrup, açaí bowls were born on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

By the 2000s, it had crossed borders—becoming a staple in wellness cafés, sports menus, and healthy kitchens around the world. From California to Copenhagen, from Bali to Brussels, açaí became the face of a new way of eating: energizing, plant-based, and beautiful.
