Other Information

NU Fruits has invested in a significant volume of analysis and research into its Acai in order to understand the ORAC, Anthocyanin, Polyphenol, Glycaemic Load and detailed nutritional profile of its products. As a point of differentiation we think it important to provide our clients with a full set of functional information about our products and assist in forming products with functional claims.

"We really see the fruit [Açaí] as the one to watch for ingredient sourcing in the future" (Mintel's Lynn Dornblaser on trends for 2007)
