What is Açaí ?

The açaí fruit is a native to the Amazon region. The skin is a purple hue while the meat inside is actually yellow. Açaí can be found on an acai palm tree among the rainforest. Just like an olive or pomegranate seed, the açaí fruit has a seed in the middle which is why it is not considered a berry.
In order to be edible, the açaí fruit has to be soaked in water for a while to soften the outer skin, and is then pureed into a saucy consistency. The taste is somewhat similar to a blackberry.

Benefits of Açaí

Açaí is very well-known for its health-boosting properties, which is why it has become so popular and is exported around the world. It is rich in Vitamin A, which is beneficial to sight and skin. It has a good amount of calcium and many other minerals, like Zinc and Manganese.
Anthocyanins, the same compound that gives açaí and many other dark blue and purple foods their color, also gives it the antioxidant properties it has. Anthocyanins are also generally known to lower the levels of bad cholesterol. Another benefit açaí has been found to have is a negative effect on the formation and spread of cancer cells.
As if all that weren’t enough, açaí may also have a positive effect on brain function due to its antioxidant properties that can protect our brain cells from oxidation. Studies performed on lab rats showed that açaí stimulated the toxin sweep that the brain performs to stay sharp.

Açaí Fruit Bowls

We think you’ll love how well-balanced the textures and flavors are in our açaí bowls. The organic açaí base is topped by a banana to balance its earthiness with sweetness. The granola adds a satisfying crunch and strawberries, pineapple, kiwi add the tingly punch we all love. Nutella, peanut butter and honey bring it all together in a rich symphony of sweet and healthy. The coconut flakes are just for fun and crunch, and also add a sweet touch.

The Health Benefits of Dragon Fruit (Pitaya)

Pitaya, commonly known as dragon fruit, is the main ingredient in our bowls. This vibrantly colored fruit doesn’t just look pretty, it also packed with vitamins, nutrients, and tons of fiber.

Dragon fruit works wonders for your gut by promoting healthy bacteria growth. It also boosts your immune system thanks to the many antioxidants it contains like vitamin C and carotenoids. Dragon fruit can also give your iron levels a boost. As one of the rare fresh fruits that contain iron, it can help combat this common deficiency.

Dragon fruit is also an excellent source of magnesium. Magnesium is in all of your cells and plays a critical role in turning food into usable energy. It also supports bone and muscle health and may even prevent heart disease.

What’s in a Bowl?

We offer several different styles of pitaya creations at Frutta Bowls. A few of the favorites are the Bermuda Bowl, the Fiji Bowl, and the Jamaica Bowl.

Each of these bowls starts with an dragon fruit base. Crunchy granola and cool almond milk add complementary tastes and textures. Each bowl also has a banana and pineapple base, but the toppings are where the real fun begins.

The Bermuda Bowl is topped with strawberry, honey, blueberry, coconut flakes, and more delicious pineapple. The Fiji Bowl allows strawberry to steal the show while being drizzled with honey, covered in peanut butter, and sprinkled with coconut flakes and chia seeds. The Jamaica Bowl hosts kiwi, mango, and blueberry kissed with coconut.

If you are in the mood for something a little simpler, the Barbados Bowl spotlights sweet mango on top of the pitaya base. Featuring vanilla whey protein in the base, the Belize Bowl is a banana and peanut butter delight.

Kale is one of the healthiest foods that you can consume, and our Kale Bowls give you a tasty way to reap the health benefits of this leafy green veggie! Just consider some of the ways kale gives your health a boost:

Plenty Of Nutrients 

Kale is a member of the cabbage family, and there are multiple types of kale. The leaves can be green or purple, with either a smooth or curly shape. No matter which variety you choose, kale contains multiple vitamins, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Kale also contains omega 3 fatty acids. With all those nutrients, kale is considered one of the most nutrient-rich foods available.

Kale Helps Lower Your Cholesterol 

Kale contains bile acid sequestrants, which can help lower your cholesterol levels. In turn, that can help reduce your risk of heart disease. Research has shown that drinking kale juice will improve the function of antioxidants in your body.

Kale May Help Fight Cancer 

Kale has multiple compounds in it that have protective effects against cancer. Kale contains sulforaphane, a substance that helps fight the formation of cancer cells. It also contains indole-3-carbinol, which can help prevent breast cancer, colon cancer and other cancers.

Kale Contains Multiple Minerals 

Kale contains lots of minerals, including calcium, a nutrient that can help strengthen your bones and blood cells. Kale also has potassium that can help lower your blood pressure and helps prevent diabetes.

Kale is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that can strengthen your eyes, help prevent cataracts, and lessen your risk of developing macular degeneration.

Kale is packed with antioxidants, as well as flavonoids and polyphenols. Antioxidants can help prevent some of the negative effects of aging, and also act as an anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant.

Kale Can Help You Lose Weight

Health Benefits of Oats

Often eaten as oatmeal, oats are a whole-grain food that’s rich in nutrition. Oats are an excellent source of antioxidants, including ferulic acid and avenanthramides, which are anti-inflammatory. Oats provide high quantities of these important vitamins and minerals:

Iron
Folate
Vitamin B1
Copper
Thiamine
Manganese
Phosphorus
Zinc

Oats are rich in soluble fiber and can play an important part of a heart-healthy diet. Researchers have found that due to their high fiber content, oats can lower your LDL (that’s the bad one) cholesterol when you eat them regularly.

Other benefits from the fiber in oats are improving blood sugar levels and easing constipation. Also, oats can help you maintain a healthy weight because the fiber in oats makes you feel full.

But apart from all those benefits and reasons to enjoy our oatmeal bowls, you might find yourself enjoying their delicious flavors so much that you forget about all the health benefits. Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free & Soy options are available, so everyone can enjoy a healthy oatmeal bowl. Stop by your local Frutta Bowls and try it today!
