East Coast vs. West Coast Acai Battle!

Flavor Brazil, LLC, (www.FlavorBrazil.com) the east coast acai distributor, based in Brooklyn, New York has the most amazing tasting frozen acai puree that comes in a pint sized container or in a smaller sized go-cup with granola to put on top just like the way they eat the acai bowls in Rio de Janeiro. You can find Flavor Brazil at Whole Foods. When the frozen acai starts to melt it melts in your mouth with an explosive taste!

Sambazon (www.Sambazon.com or www.Acai.com), the west coast company, with its headquarters in San Clemente, California also offers frozen acai sorbet in a pint sized container that is also delicious. It’s amazing that something that tastes so good is so healthy for you. Flavor Brazil opted not to call their frozen acai "sorbet" in order to promote their frozen acai "puree" as something much more than a desert-like product. I’ll take it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
