How to Purchase Acai in Boston

Acai is a berry that grows in the Amazon rain forest in South America. However, since the berries start to spoil 24 hours after they're picked, the most common method for those in the United States to get acai is either freeze dried, pulped or as part of a juice or pill set. If you live in Boston, Massachusetts, you have a few different options for buying acai, depending on your location and budget.

Instructions

  Locate a mass market source for the acai product that you want. In Boston, acai products can be found in stores like Walgreens and Safeway, and in larger supermarkets, depending on the season and the demand.
