As the açaí experts, our founder’s dove head first into why they love this super berry and how it inspired them to open a make-shift pop-up that would lead to a nationwide franchise. But there’s so much more to açaí than the purple coloring that meets the eye (which also makes for great Instagram pics).
Fun fact: If you’ve ever tried raw açaí, it’s actually bitter and earthy! That’s because it is extremely low in sugar (great for health, not so much for tastebuds). But we found a way to make it absolutely delicious.
Açaí is considered a super fruit for a reason. It’s low in sugar, high in fiber, and rich in antioxidants. It may even improve brain function and fight cancerous diseases! Plus, it’s nutrient dense. So each Playa Bowl that you order is packed with more than flavor, there are some serious health benefits.
In 2018 we decided to take things one step further in our açaí journey. After a serious brainstorming sesh, we introduced our proprietary Playa Acai. This special blend is harvested from palm trees in the Brazilian Amazon (trees that can grow to over 95 feet high!). Once harvested, the açaí berry is cleaned and sorted. Then, the skin is separated from the seed and the pulp is placed into large drums. From these large drums, the berry is mashed into the Playa Açaí our Playa family can’t get enough of.
Fun fact: Our Playa Açaí contains 70% pulp compared to only 30% in most other açaí products. That means more health benefits (like less sugar).
As “NJ’s Original Açaí Shop,” we’ve grown to 170+ locations with the same love for the berry as when we first began. That’s because all of our açaí products are pure, and never blended with banana or apple juice (which accounts for the high sugar content in competitor products). The best part? All of our Playa Açaí is guaranteed fresh, and stored for 21 days or less (that’s less time than most items in people’s freezers at home). So no matter where you are in Pineappleland, from Florida to Colorado, you’ll get a real taste for the super fruit that started it all.
