Before the city of Belem was built, an Indian tribe
used to live there. Because the food was very scarce, the chief of the
tribe named Itaki, demanded that all the children would be sacrificed,
including his granddaughter, daughter of Iaca. In a full moon night, Iaca
heard a child's cry. She approached the door of her tipi, and he saw her
little smiling daughter close to a beautiful palm tree. At the beginning
she got static, but later on, she ran to her and held her tightly. Mysteriously
her daughter disappeared.
Her body was found holding the Acai tree with a smile on her face. Her
dark eyes were staring at the top of the Acai palm tree, which gave birth
to the black palm berry fruits. Itaki then demanded all the Indians to
get the fruits, obtaining a reddish wine that was baptized Acai, in tribute
to his daughter (Iaca inverted name). He fed his people and after this
day, he suspended the order to sacrifice the children.

Power Sorbet a day.The real discovery of the Amazon *Açaí
the fruit of life*:
We had the pleasure to introduce the first Açaí
into the world market back in 1998. When we had our production
of Açaí expanded into the Brazilian Market, we realized
that Açaí would be known worldwide in connection
with our project S.O.S. Amazon Fund. The project was created by
our staff, inspired by the exotic fruits well known in the Amazon
Rain Forest and to create sustainable programs inside of the Amazon
Rain Forest . Açaí is oneof those exotic fruits,
which is naturally harvested by local communities without causing
any harm to the rainforest. Today the volume of the domestic business
in Brazil plus the expansion of the business worldwide, we can
commit to grow this program in creating better infrastructure
in those villages inside the forest, educational program linked
with local Authorities (Suframa – Government Agency inside
the Amazon Rain Forest) and more programs like Amazon Paper, Coconut
Fiber. By purchasing our product, you are contributing to better
the lives inside the Amazon Rain Forest.
