Antler Farms® Raw Acai is 100% pure, certified organic acai powder. Our acai is sourced from wild acai palm trees that grow naturally in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, where it has been a staple food of native communities for centuries.
Harvested at the peak of potency, our acai is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and essential fatty acids. It is processed within 24 hours of harvest for freshness and freeze dried to ensure all of its beneficial nutrients remain completely intact and bioavailable.

There's a lot of reasons that people like acai, for one, I'm a big fan because I love the smooth buttery taste that you get from it. You see the neat thing with acai is you get this mix of a smooth, not super sweet berry along with almost a chocolatey taste. And a lot of that comes from the fact they have a decent amount of fat in them as well - three, six, and nine omegas and mainly mono unsaturated fats predominantly what's called oleic acid.
When you look at the antioxidant capacity, the ORAC score of acai berry, it's significantly more than other fruits. You're looking at 10X the amount of antioxidant capability compared to a blueberry, that's going to be 30X the amount of red wine. So also acai is definitely pretty superior when it comes down to those ORAC scores.
Now an ORAC score is a score that is set out to determine the antioxidant capabilities of something, how much in the way of free radicals it can actually help neutralize. But if you look at the ORAC score of 100 grams of acai berry, the ORAC score is going to be 15,405. If you compare that to blueberries, blueberries in the same amount, 100 grams, come in at 4,669. So yeah, when you look at the hard data like that, it's easy to see, and that makes sense why it's such a deep, dark color.
Now, the cool thing is Antler Farms grows their acai in the wild acai palms of the Amazons. So super fertile soil, super clean air, no pesticides, none of that garbage. So if you look right on the label, it shows that it is a product of Brazil. It is legit.
Now the entire process of harvesting and freeze-drying they do inside of 24 hours because acai is very fragile and it's going to oxidize quick. Because it has so many antioxidants you lose that potency the longer that it's exposed to oxygen because it's doing its job of well, oxidizing. So you want to harvest it quick. So it's all compressed and done in a 24 hour period. And then it's freeze dried versus spray dried.
Spray drying doesn't have any temperature involvement and spray drying can actually be heated, which can denature a lot of things. Freeze drying, you're literally freezing it and then drying it. So then you're actually preserving some more of the antioxidant capability. So it's a much more effective way of preserving things. And really awesome that Antler Farms is doing that. So make sure you check them out, but do your own research in acai. You can add it to smoothies, you can add it to yogurt, you can eat it straight up. It's super versatile and really has a lot of uses whether you're keto, whether you're fasting, whether you're doing different things. So make sure you check them out and I'll see you soon.
