In 2018, when my husband and I moved to
Canada from Brazil, we brought with us our love of sports, nature and a healthy lifestyle. One thing we missed, though, was AÇAÍ: the delicious and nutritious Brazilian superfruit.
So we decided to bring açaí to Canada and, thus, Akaí Bowl was born: a small family business that now links the two countries and their shared love of nature.
Known as the Brazilian “superfruit”, AÇAÍ comes from the açaí palm tree, found on the riverbanks of the Amazon rainforest. This dark purple fruit, a staple in the diet of the native populations of the Amazon region, is famous for its high nutritional value and overall health benefits. Studies show that açaí pulp is a better source of antioxidants than other berries and a good source of iron, fibre, vitamin E, and potassium. Creamy and refreshing, it tastes like a cross between blackberry and chocolate.
We have 3 stores: 2 in Ottawa and 1 in Montreal - Industries

We have experience with these logistic challenges besides having a very good product.
