One thing about the acai berry is that it does not keep well. The acai berry deteriorates very fast if it is not used immediately.

You can eat it immediately or juice it immediately after picked or soon enough and it will be great but if you leave it out for hours and hours, it will go bad and you should not attempt to eat it at all. This is also the reason why the acai berry is not imported to the US as fresh berry because it will spoil in transit.

That’s why people need to put it through some kind of preservation process before transporting far away.
