One study valued the açaí berry market at $712 million in 2017 + predicted that it will grow at a steady rate of 12.71% by 2025. Did you know? This growth is partly due to the steady influx of vibrant purple açaí bowl pictures on Instagram.
Açaí bowls are a thick, sorbet-like consistency. The açaí bowl base is typically made from açaí fruit pulp, nut milk, dates, and other fruits + topped with an infinite number of combinations like granola, nut butter, banana slices, and coconut flakes. (This is different from a smoothie bowl, which may sport similar toppings but consists of different fruits and yields a more liquid-like consistency.
