Açaí palm
The açaí palm (, from Tupi-Guarani ''asaí'';〔(açai: definition of açai in Oxford dictionary - American English (US) )〕 ''Euterpe oleracea'') is a species of palm tree in the genus ''Euterpe'' cultivated for its fruit and hearts of palm. Its name comes from the Brazilian Portuguese adaptation of the Tupian word ''ïwaca'i'', '(that ) cries or expels water'. Global demand for the fruit has expanded rapidly in recent years, and açaí is now cultivated for that purpose primarily. ''Euterpe edulis'' (juçara) is a closely related species which is now the primary source of hearts of palm.
''Euterpe oleracea'' is mostly native to Brazil and Trinidad and northern South America, mainly in swamps and floodplains. Açaí palms are tall, slender palms growing to more than tall, with pinnate leaves up to long.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Euterpe oleracea )〕 ==Harvesting and uses==
