Açaí na tigela (literally "açaí in the bowl", meaning an "açaí bowl") is a sweet Brazilian snack food from Pará and Amazonas.[1] [2] It is a dish made with the frozen and mashed fruit of the açaí palm, described as having an "earthy" or creamy taste.[3] Its texture is granular before blending and it has a tartness from a high acidity content, making its taste appealing.[4] It is served as a smoothie in a bowl, usually mixed with guaraná syrup, and is commonly topped with granola and banana.

Regions and preparation

Although açaí na tigela is commonly consumed all over Brazil[5] [3] it has become more regionalized mainly in Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, São Paulo, Goiás and along the northeastern coast, where it is sold in kiosks lining the beach promenade and in juice bars throughout the cities.[6]
