Acai – from breakfasts to desserts, and from savoury to sweet – this little purple berry has truly packed a punch in a huge variety of forms. Starting off as a staple food in the Amazon, and growing into a hyped-up “superfood” world-wide, I have seen this fruit sold in both the tiniest towns of south America, and in the hippest hipster bars in Europe. So where did the acai hype start? What are the ways in which people eat Acai around the world? And what potential benefits to our health can be found in Acai?

Hi everyone! My name is Didi and I’m a registered Dietitian living and working in Ireland. I have a huge passion for travelling and exploring the many cuisines and foods that our planet has to offer. And so I have decided to start a blog and video series here at Didititian to highlight some of my favourite foodie finds from my travels! Didititians Travel Diary will explore the many delicious foods I come across on my journeys, and reflect on their backgrounds and nutritional perks and quirks!

I am just back from my New Years Break in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - and while I was there, I was honestly surprised to find that nearly every second shop around was selling Acai fruit in one form or another. And so, I delved a little deeper in the the background and history of Acai to share my fascination on this interesting fruit with you all!
