Is Açaí Powder Better Than Frozen Açaí?
Traditionally, many cafés and dessert businesses have relied on frozen açaí tubs to prepare açaí bowls and frozen desserts.
However, frozen açaí requires freezer capacity, temperature-controlled storage and additional planning when defrosting the product for use in a soft serve machine.
Fun Foods Direct offers an alternative: Açaí Soft Serve Powder Mix made using freeze-dried açaí.
Simply combine the powder with water and prepare it in a compatible soft serve machine.

Skip the Frozen Bucket Defrosting Process
One of the practical differences between açaí powder and frozen açaí is the preparation process.
Amazon Power Frozen Açaí
Amazon Power advises customers to defrost its 10kg frozen buckets before pouring the product into a soft serve machine.
This requires planning ahead and allocating suitable refrigerated storage space while the product defrosts.
The manufacturer's guidance requires defrosting at 4°C or colder.
Fun Foods Direct Açaí Powder
With Fun Foods Direct Açaí Soft Serve Powder Mix, there is no frozen bucket to defrost.
Simply add the required water, mix thoroughly and prepare the product in your compatible soft serve machine.
This can help simplify preparation and reduce the need for dedicated frozen stock storage.
Food safety reminder: Once reconstituted, açaí powder must be handled under appropriate food safety and temperature control procedures.
Made Using Freeze-Dried Açaí
Fun Foods Direct Açaí Soft Serve Powder Mix is made using freeze-dried açaí.
Freeze-drying removes moisture from ingredients under controlled conditions, allowing them to be incorporated into dry powder formulations.
This provides a practical alternative to storing frozen açaí products.
Our açaí soft serve powder is formulated for frozen dessert preparation, including soft serve-style açaí bowls.
Important: This is a formulated açaí soft serve powder mix, not a claim that the entire product consists of 100% pure açaí.
