acai berries

Purple smoothie fruit

Acai berries are small, dark purple fruits from a palm tree native to Central and South America.

The berry has been marketed heavily as a superfood, though its health benefits are comparable to other berries.

Acai appears most often in smoothie bowls and juice blends: I ordered an acai bowl for breakfast.
