You might want to Google this question to get a more in depth answer, but it is my understanding that you can only get them raw if you are in the Amazon Rain Forest. The berries go rancid very quickly, so shipping them fresh / raw is not possible. Apparently unprocessed, frozen acai pulp is available on the market. In the US, that's probably as close to fresh as we can get.
Does anyone have first hand experience with either fresh or fresh frozen Acai berries / pulp?
You would have to pick them yourself to get them raw... Unfortunately they are treated with a type of pasteurization and flash frozen immediately after picking... The complete reason eludes me at this time... YOU can purchase frozen pulp as emtpdmom states, I have not tried it... I do purchase freeze dried in bulk, use a tablespoon full in my morning fruit smoothie... It is wonderful... smile
I'll see if I can locate the website for you...

thats too bad that they go rancid so quickly.
thanks for the information!
Yea from also what I know thet go bad in like 24hours so getting them fresh is only for locals basically.
Hi,
I am new on the site but I just bought freshly harvested Acai fruits complete with flesh and berries at our local farmers market here in St Martin in the Antillean Islands
They are delicious, but limited supply I would think
Let me know if any interest and we can work out if they can be frozen in CO2 for transport
