Açaí na tigela: Difference between revisions

Previous photo showed almost no açaí and a non-Brazilian preparation (raspberries etc. are not common in Brazil); this photo (already used on "Açaí Palm" page) is a much more typical preparation in e.g. Rio de Janeiro |
→Regions and preparation: Açaí na tigela is never served with fish or cassava -- that is a different preparation of açaí. Açaí na tigela (açaí bowls) are exclusively the sweet version, so I'm removing the entire second paragraph |

Açaí na tigela ("Açaí Bowl", "açaí in the bowl") is a Brazilian dessert from Pará and Amazonas, where the Ribeirinhos people prepare it regularly.[1][2] It is a dish made with the frozen and mashed fruit of the açaí palm, described as having an "earthy" or creamy taste.[3] Its texture is granular before blending and it has a tartness from a high acidity content, making its taste appealing.[4] It is served as a smoothie in a bowl,[5] usually mixed with guaraná syrup, and is commonly topped with granola and banana.[6]
Regions and preparation
Although açaí na tigela is commonly consumed all over Brazil[7][3] it has become more regionalized mainly in Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, São Paulo, Goiás and along the northeastern coast, where it is sold in kiosks lining the beach promenade and in juice bars throughout the cities.[8]
