The flavor of açaí berries themselves is not intensely sweet. Instead, it possesses a subtle earthy and slightly bitter taste. When prepared for consumption, açaí pulp is typically blended with sweeter fruits like bananas or strawberries, or with guarana syrup, to enhance its palatability. The final flavor profile depends heavily on the added ingredients, ranging from sweet and fruity to rich and chocolatey, while retaining a subtle earthy undertone.
