The acai berry, commonly pronounced as a-sigh-ee is a small, round and purplish-black berry which is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest area. The fruit is made up of a large seed and a minimum amount of pulp. Its appearance resembles those of the grapes and the blueberry, but compared to them the acai is much smaller and has a much darker color.
