A study of food habits of natives in the Amazon was funded in the 1980’s by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences & World Wildlife Fund. Açai was found to form such an important part of the diet, that up to two liters a day of it is consumed by individuals in the region. It is eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The study stated: “Those who consume açai often appear strong and full of energy.” Acai has a long history of traditional use in the Amazon. Modern surveys show natives in the Amazon consume up to two liters of açai a day and add it to most meals. Natives report that fresh açai gives them energy due to its nutritional value.
