土著语，好伤心的故事：

The name “açaí” comes from the Tupi (a community of Brazilian natives) word for “weeping fruit”. We might think that it’s because of the juicy pulp of açaizeiro’s coconuts but, according to the legend, this name is due to the “tearful circumstances” in which acai was created.
The story goes that hundreds of years before the first European ship ever crossed the Atlantic, the natives that lived in today’s city of Belém do Pará (North of Brazil) began to starve. The population grew every day, while the food available became increasingly scarce.
Fearing for his people’s survival, the community head Itaki ordered that every newborn was to be sacrificed, in order to keep the nation’s growing numbers under control until a more prosperous season. Tough and fair, as a leader ought to be, Itaki made no exception when his own daughter, Iaçã, gave birth to a little girl.
Heartbroken, Iaçã spent days and nights weeping for her lost child and praying for Tupã, the god of thunder, to save her people from this suffering. Until one night, Iaçã heard a child’s cry coming from the woods. Following the sound, the chief’s daughter found her little girl, sitting amongst the roots of a large palm tree. But that vision lasted for only a moment, before her child vanished in the wind.
In the morning, Itaki and his people found Iaçã peacefully laid under this tree and, looking above, they saw round, small black fruits (matching the princess’ dark eyes) coming down from the leaves.
Then they gathered those fruits and milled them, making a dark-purple juice out of them. After tasting this mysterious delicacy, Itaki understood that the black fruits were Tupã’s gift for his people. Sustained by the rich palm trees, the Tupi people would never again face hunger. In honor of her miraculous tears, the fruit was then named after Iaçã.
