Picture this: it’s a sunny day in Hawaii, and you’re about to go to the beach but craving some refreshing snack. You’re thinking fruit, healthy, cold, refreshing. Then it hits you: açaí is the answer! You walk into Nalu Health Bar & Cafe, go to the counter, and ask for an organic açaí bowl.

It looks so good. They put strawberries and bananas on it, and then finally, your favorite part, a honey drizzle. You dig your spoon in and create the perfect first bite: a little bit of fruit, a little granola, and a whole lot of acai.

As it hits your taste buds, you are met with a refreshing yet slightly bitter taste of natural açaí. It’s perfectly paired with the honey and bananas. You can’t stop eating it; before you know it, the bowl is empty, and your stomach is satisfied. You look in the mirror and feel like a kid again with purple-stained lips, happy as a clam. That’s how it should be. Now, you might be thinking, how can this delicious, refreshing experience be healthy? No way, it tastes too good to be healthy, right? Wrong.

Oahu’s Best, Grade A, Organic Açaí Bowl

We recently won Best Açaí in Oahu, and you can taste the reason why. At Nalu Health Bar and Cafe, we pride ourselves on offering organic Grade A açaí. The benefits of açaí come when it is served in an all-natural way with no preservatives, as it should be. Let’s dive into these health benefits and why it’s worth choosing Grade A açaí rather than other blends you might see on the street.

Antioxidant Powerhouse:

Acai berries are rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants help combat free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to various diseases.

May Improve Heart Health:

Studies suggest açaí could positively impact cholesterol levels by potentially lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Brain Function Boost:

Acai's antioxidant content might contribute to improved cognitive function and memory.

Fiber and Healthy Fats:

Açaí provides a good source of fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness. It also contains healthy fats that can contribute to heart health.

At Nalu Health Bar and Cafe we provide only the best organic, grade A açaí. This means all the açaí we serve is imported from Brazil, not packed with any preservatives or blended with other kinds of fruits.

The Grade A Açaí Difference

Grade A (Especial/Grosso):

•  This is the top grade with the highest concentration of fruit solids, typically containing at least 14%.  This translates to a thicker, more intense acai flavor and potentially a higher concentration of nutrients.

• Grade A acai boasts a deep purple color due to its high concentration of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant.

• This kind of acai is the premium choice for those seeking the most concentrated flavor, highest potential nutrient content, and thickest consistency.
