Nico Andonakis and Marilena Thomadaki are pioneering the ‘organic Acai’
invasion of Europe, and, in particular, Ibiza, bringing the first
organic fair trade acai to the island, sharing the vision of their
partner Amazonia for providing high quality organic food together with
healthy eating habits. Their Acai is pulp and not the sorbet that is
normally available, with no nasty additives that are usually found. They
guarantee the highest quality of acai on the market because of their 3
step process from being hand harvested in the jungle, to being placed on
the boat and then to their facilities for freezing all within 24 hours.
Most commercial acai has between a 5 and 10 step process, which means
‘organic acai’ has over double the antioxidant capacity. There is also
an environmental plus to the success of their Acai berry, the more of
the product that they sell, the more Acai palm trees will remain
standing, rather than being cut down for cattle and soy farming. So not
only do you give your body the best chance possible, revitalise and
energise yourself in the process but you also make a difference to the
Amazonian rain forest, where the berries originate. The Amazonian soil
is blessed with a high nutrient dense capacity and this is what gives
the Acai berry its extraordinarily high nutritional value, and that,
coupled with the delicious taste, has seen it emerge as one of the most
popular superfoods on the market.
