Acai berry select reviews - Version 1.0 The fruit, a small, round, black-purple drupe about 1 inch (25 mm) in circumference, similar in appearance but smaller than a grape and with less pulp, is produced in branched panicles of 500 to 900 fruits. The exocarp of the ripe fruits is a deep purple color, or green, depending on the kind of acai and its maturity. The mesocarp is pulpy and thin, with a consistent thickness of 1 mm or less. It surrounds the voluminous and hard endocarp, which contains a single large seed about 0.25-0.40 inches (7-10 mm) in diameter. The seed makes up about 80% of the fruit (Schauss, 2006c). Two crops of fruit are produced each year. The fruits can be harvested and consumed.A grove of acai palms in Brazilacai palmServing of acai pulpSeparation of acai pulp from seeds in market Belem, Para BrazilIn a study of three traditional Caboclo populations in the Brazilian Amazon, açaí palm was described as the
