From Tumaco Colombia

Acai (ah-sigh-EE) is a high antioxidant energising berry that grows in only 2 places the Colombian Pacific Coast and the Brazilian Amazon River.

Loving Earth’s Acai is wild harvested from Acai palms growing in the coastal estuaries of the Tumaco region, in Colombia, where they get mineralized by the Pacific Ocean. This along with the fact that the acai pulp is NOT pasteurised before it is freeze dried results in an ORAC score of 182,146 uM trolox / 100g. This is nearly twice as much as acai sourced from the Brazilian Amazon.

Wild harvesting this certified organic Acai provides a sustainable income for the indigenous Tumas people of the area helping to preserve biodiversity in the region. The Acai is a staple of the indigenous Tumas people forming about 42% of their daily diet.
