Açai, pronounced ah-sigh-ee, is a berry found on açai palm trees in South African rainforests, primarily in Brazil.

It is often used to create frozen smoothie bowls with a dark purple colour, providing a rich source of antioxidants.

Açai bowls are usually topped with chopped fruit, granola and some kind of nut butter - such as peanut or almond.
