Projeto Açaí started and continues to be driven by the dream of sharing the magical taste and nutritional benefits of Açaí from the Amazon and directly contributing back to the local communities who harvest the berries in the Pará region of Brazil. We pride ourselves on serving nutritious, healthy and fresh food. Slowly but surely, we become a renowned spot in Dubai for fitness lovers, surfers, yogis, martial artists and everyone who is conscious about how they fuel their bodies. Almost all of our ingredients are locally sourced as well as organic when possible and all of our toppings, fruits and vegetables are fresh. We even make our now famous homemade peanut butter and homemade walnut granola! Acai is naturally full with energy, it has a vibrant taste of berries with a hint of chocolate, is rich in proteins, fibre, vitamin E, minerals and essential Omega oils to reduce our bad cholesterol caused by our Western diets. Known as the miracle fruit, acai berries also helps in preventing cancer due to it's antioxidant properties that are five times more potent than Gingko Biloba, a comonly used herbal therapy product. Acai is also a natural cholesterol controller, when eaten it helps reduce the bad cholesterol in our blood and increase the good cholesterol. The tribes of the Amazon knew of these properties and found out that it helped build the immune system, fight infection, protected the heart, and control prostate enlargement (nature's viagra). It was a great energy food for the tribes-people.
