Why can’t I get acai berries at my local grocery store?
Although the acai berry has been used by the natives of the rainforest for years (there are even legends about it), it spoils within a day of being harvested. Obviously, this makes it impossible to ship it long distances. However, with the recent research and interest in the acai berry, more and more large companies are figuring out how to process it quickly and ship it to the United States.
