Acai Berry Products-Sambazon Acai Sorbet

Sambazon Acai Sorbet

Below is a review of the Sambazon Organic Acai Sorbet Strawberry Samba. This pint of Sambazon's Acai Sorbet calls itself “strawberry Samba,” but in fact the strawberry flavor in it is very subtle, with Acai taking the center stage. In fact you might not be able to detect any strawberry at all, and in the ingredients list on the side here it comes in 3rd with Acai 1st and green cane juice sweetener in 2nd.

This frozen pint of multi-purpose acai pulp blend is part of Sambazon's sorbet line, and it's been featured in my local whole foods freezer for years now, so it's apparently been selling well.

It does have 8 grams of fat per serving, which is 1 quarter of the pint, or a half Cup. However, the vast majority of it's fat grams come directly from the Acai berry itself, being very rich in Omega 3, 6, & 9 fatty acids, which are all very good for you.

Of course there is no trans fat in this whole pint, and the 13 grams of sugar per serving is primarily from the young cane juice sweetener.

I've carved some for you here after letting it thaw a bit. It's very important to do so because while it's still frozen, acai pulp can be chalky and dry, even with other additives like strawberry and cane juice.

As you can see it's much better now while thawed out, and it tastes great, a lot like a fruity smoothie of dark berries and perhaps some chocolate.

Since Sambazon is one of the world's biggest suppliers of Acai, you can expect for this sorbet to be packed with antioxidants, as they pride themselves on freezing the berry pulp fresh at the source.

Again, you can grab a pint of Sambazon's Strawberry Samba Acai Sorbet from your local health food store. I picked this one up for about 5 dollars and it's lasted me longer than I thought it would, with no complaints.
