Açai is a small, deep-purple fruit about the size of a grape that grows in clusters on a palm tree.
The fruit grows in humid, floodplain swamps of the eastern Amazon River basin.
MonaVie is a leader in research on the açai berry, with emphasis on the benefits of açai as well as the best methods for transporting, preserving and using the berry in high-quality products.
MonaVie is one of the largest consumers of the açai berry outside of Brazil.
In 2008, MonaVie bought 15,000 tons of açai fruit, helping to preserve the Amazon Rainforest.
In addition to being a catalyst for Amazon Rainforest preservation, açai’s popularity has proven financially beneficial to the people of Brazil. Harvesters working on the MonaVie crop have year-round employment.
