Where the palms
line the water.

Açaí palms grow wild along the riverbanks. Every aerial shot here is ours, not stock.

Hand-harvested

Up to twenty metres,
by hand.

Harvesters climb the slender, ringed trunks to cut the bunches — the way it has always been done in Envira.

Planned: dried at the source

Hours,
not weeks.

Açaí spoils fast. Our plan: pulp it and freeze-dry it right in Envira, instead of shipping frozen pulp across the world.

Inside the berry

A big seed,
a thin coat of fruit.

An açaí berry is mostly hard seed. Only the thin outer layer of skin and pulp becomes powder — which is why every gram takes a lot of fruit.

Who is behind it

This is how the harvest starts.

Filmed in Envira in 2011: a young Indigenous friend of ours climbs an açaí palm with a loop of fibre around his feet and brings the bunch down. No ladder, no machine — the way açaí has always been harvested here.

Anderson Totz grew up in Envira, among these palms and the people who climb them.

He is now founding Acai Powders to keep the value where the fruit grows: buying from local harvesters, drying the berries in town and selling the powder directly — to kitchens and to businesses. Chris Totz coordinates sales and the website from Germany.

What freeze-drying does

Water leaves. Açaí stays.

100kg

100 kg of fresh açaí pulp, pressed from berries harvested around Envira.

  1. Fresh pulp
  2. Frozen
  3. Vacuum
  4. Pure powder

Mass balance at about 12% fruit solids and 4% residual moisture. Real solids vary by harvest and will be lab-measured.

Know the fruit

Mostly seed. A millimetre of fruit.

An açaí fruit looks like a blueberry, but inside is a big hard seed. Only the thin coat of skin and pulp becomes powder. How it grows, how it is harvested, what is inside — and what research honestly says.

Read: freeze-dried vs spray-dried açaí powder →

Can I buy açaí powder from you today?

You can pre-order. Acai Powders is in pre-production: we are setting up freeze-drying in Envira, Amazonas. Batch 001 is planned for 2027. Pre-orders lock the founder price; the free list costs nothing.

What happens to my money if Batch 001 is late or never ships?

You get it back. You can cancel anytime before we ship and receive a full refund of everything you paid, by email. If we cannot deliver, we refund every order.

What is the difference between paying in full and the deposit?

Paying in full now gives you the lowest price. With the deposit you secure your share of Batch 001 for a small amount and pay the rest only when we confirm the shipping date.

Is it really pure açaí?

That is the product goal: 100% açaí pulp, freeze-dried and milled, without maltodextrin, sugar or carriers. Every batch will be lab-tested; we publish the specification before shipping.

Why freeze-dried and not spray-dried?

Spray-drying needs a carrier such as maltodextrin. Freeze-drying removes water as vapour at low temperature, so the powder can be pure fruit. It is slower and costs more energy — which is why we want to do it right next to the harvest.

Which countries can you ship to?

We plan to serve Europe, the USA and other markets whose import rules we can meet. Tell us your country when you order; if we cannot ship there, you get a full refund.

Which açaí palm is it?

The wild açaí around Envira is mostly Euterpe precatoria, the single-stemmed palm of the western Amazon. Most açaí sold in Europe comes from Euterpe oleracea. We will confirm the species for every batch.

Can Batch 001 already be sold in the EU?

Not yet guaranteed. The EU novel-food catalogue lists açaí from Euterpe oleracea as a traditional food; Euterpe precatoria has no entry yet. We are clarifying this with the German food authority before shipping. If we cannot deliver to your country, you get a full refund.

Do you make health claims?

No. Açaí is a fruit, not a medicine. We talk about origin, process and taste, and we publish lab values — not promises about weight loss or detox.
