The fruit from the acai berry is a highly perishable and it must be properly processed within 24 hours in order for the fruit to maintain its nutritional value.

Within 24 hours of picking the fruit, the acai skin and pulp can be freeze dried into a powder or the pulp can be frozen. When done properly the freeze dried acai powder retains all of nutrients of the fresh acai. This freeze-dried powder can then be sold as a powder or it can be put into capsules.
