The açai, or fruit that cries, is an original fruit of Amazons who conquered the city of Rio de Janeiro. Mixed with fruit, nuts and even with ice cream, the options for eating acai are many. In northeast of Brazil is even used powder, to season the fish, but here in Rio the more typical is mixed with some fruit like banana, strawberry, etc...
Today the palm tree that gives the fruit is grown in much of Brazil, but is the city of Para, which produces 85% of which is consumed in the country. The acai came to Rio de Janeiro in the late 80's and always associated with athletes or the practice of some sport, that because the fruit have high calorie. But today is associated with good health and in Rio 40 º C the combination with fruit and açai is perfect.
In every corner of the south area, we can find it in all the kinds. In Copacabana, any Juice stores, are offering the açai, but the newest trend is mixed acai with yougurt. Another way to eat well and refresh yourself at the same time.
