Move Over Matcha—Açaí Is Ireland’s New Gen Z Must-Have - with SAMBAZON Leading the Charge

Ireland is in the middle of an açai boom, Google searches are up 126% year-on-year and sales of scoopable açai are more than doubling. SAMBAZON, the brand that first brought Brazil's purple superfruit to the world, is right at the heart of it.

SAMBAZON, the world’s first certified organic and Fair Trade açaí brand, is fuelling the health-forward Gen-Z boom as the go-to choice for consumers hungry for vibrant flavour and clean energy.

Whether it’s a healthy breakfast, a post-workout snack, or an afternoon pick-me-up, açaí bowls are packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids - and why not get creative with seasonal toppings - think maple syrup in place of honey, spiced pear in place of fresh berries, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice! 

SAMBAZON makes it easier than ever to enjoy the superfood at home or on the go.  Offering a range delicious açaí products, Sambazon scoopable acai is currently available in Nourish stores nationwide with an RRP of €7.99 and as acai bowls from BWG Foodservice Cafes.

Speaking about the growing trends, Mari Laidlaw, SAMBAZON Managing Director Europe, said: “Over the last twelve months, we have witnessed an incredible surge in demand for açaí, with Gen Z very much at the forefront of this growth, incorporating it into their daily routines and sharing their love for the superfruit on social media. Ireland is now one of SAMBAZON’s top three growth markets in the region, a true testament to how quickly açaí has gone from niche to an everyday staple.”
