What Makes Up Perfect Acai Powder?

Well, simply put, perfect acai!

Perfect Supplements uses only 100% organic Earthfruits Acai for their supplements and powders. Acai is a superfood, no question, but it is also a very fragile superfood. Acai berries will spoil within 12-18 hours after being picked from the tree. This leaves only a small amount of time from the time it is picked until it is turned into pure acai powder.

Why Are The Best Acai Powders Freeze Dried?

There are several ways to dry the acai berry, some more expensive than others. If you are looking to produce at a low cost, you can spray dry the acai. This poses several problems however to the actual nutritional density of the product. First, it involves heating the berries to a very high temprature which almost all experts agree kills many beneficial enzymes and phytonutrients. The second problem involves what is actually sprayed on the acai which is usually a substance such as maltodextrin. So at the end, not only do you have an acai powder that is devoid of enzymes and phytonutrients, but also is up to 40% maltodextrin! So as you can see those “bargain” acai products are actually a rip off, because not only do you not have pure acai powder, but the little acai that is in there is almost worthless. And to add insult to injury, because the maltodextrin is added during the manufacturing process, they don’t even have to put it on the label! On the other hand, freeze dried acai will retain its nutrients and enzymes as well as not having any filler agents added. It is done at low heat to preserve all the nutrients. For comparison of antioxidant values, 100 grams of fresh acai has an impressive antioxidant rating of 5,500 ORAC score, but 100 grams of free dried Earthfruits acai has an amazing ORAC score of over 70,000! Now that is a Perfect Acai Powder.
