From the Amazon to New Zealand
Deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest, one of the world’s most powerful superfruits grows naturally on towering açaí palm trees. For centuries, indigenous communities have harvested and enjoyed açaí for its incredible nutritional benefits, natural energy, and rich flavour.
The journey of Berrica Açaí begins in this remarkable ecosystem, where berries are carefully harvested from wild açaí palms in the Amazon jungle. These berries are known for their deep purple colour and high concentration of antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and essential nutrients.
Because açaí berries are delicate and highly perishable, they are processed shortly after harvesting to preserve their freshness, nutrients, and authentic taste. This careful process ensures the berries maintain their vibrant colour, rich flavour, and powerful nutritional profile.
From the Amazon, Berrica brings this extraordinary superfruit to New Zealand through a reliable cold-chain system, making authentic açaí accessible to cafés, businesses, and health-conscious consumers across the country.
Today, the journey that begins in the Amazon rainforest continues in cafés, restaurants, and homes throughout New Zealand — bringing a taste of the Amazon to every bowl.
In New Zealand, Berrica Fruits is proudly distributed by Frankly Fresh Group NZ.

Why Berric Acai
Got any questions?
1.Where does Berrica açaí come from?
Our premium authentic açaí is sourced directly from the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
2.How is the açaí harvested?
It is harvested by skilled local workers who climb tall palm trees—some reaching over 25 meters (80 feet)—using sustainable practices that have been passed down through generations.
3.What exactly is an açaí fruit?
Açaí is a drupe, which means it has a large pit inside. Only about 10-15% of the fruit consists of the edible pulp that is used in our products.
4.Does harvesting açaí harm the Amazon rainforest?
No, when açaí is harvested sustainably as we do, it actually supports the rainforest’s biodiversity and helps protect the Amazon ecosystem.
5.How does the açaí industry impact local communities?
This fruit is not only a nutritional powerhouse but also serves as a vital source of income for Amazonian communities, supporting their livelihoods.
6.How does the açaí get to New Zealand?
After being harvested and processed with premium quality equipment in Brazil, it is imported and proudly distributed across New Zealand by Frankly Fresh Group NZ.
