Learn information about the sugar levels in açaí cream and what it means about the food

First, it is important to highlight that after its popularization, the consumption of açaí changed a lot. So, if there in Pará it was a salty meal, in other regions of Brazil and around the world, it became popular in the sweet format. Thus, after being redesigned, açaí became a refreshing dessert, served in ice cream parlors, cafes and snack bars.

Therefore, it is a fact that the addition of sugar is part of the recipe. And with that, the sweet format is intentional to be compatible with the cream/sorbet. But, here we have differentials in these aspects with a guarantee of a tasty format and without harm to health.

So, we take into account that the presence of sugar doesn’t make it an unhealthy food, especially in our recipe. But why? Because these sugar calories also make acai an energy food. As a result, it’s´common for it to be consumed by athletes and people in the fitness industry, for example.

Therefore, at Açaí Town, the difference is an original recipe, where the much-feared guarana syrup common in the market is replaced by a proprietary formulation with selected ingredients.

Not only that, we have zero açaí in our catalog, without additional sugars. In this version, sucralose replaces the sugar. So, zero is an alternative to the traditional version, aimed at people on a sugar-restricted diet and diabetics, for example.

Thus, those who are diabetic can take açaí, and those who aren’t, do not need to be scared of the sugars in the formula. That said, issues that involve gaining weight or losing weight will depend on how açaí is consumed and, of course, on the ingredients that constitute and accompany it, and not only on the sugar in the recipe.
